Discovering Maitrese's Remains

Maitrese's remains were found in Dark Canyon by rangers who came across a skull and leg bone among the heavy leaf litter of the canyon floor. The discovery led to a communication breakdown and a PR disaster between the sheriff's department and the coroner's office. The mishandling of the remains raised suspicions among Maitrese's friends and family towards law enforcement. Despite the focus on how her remains got out of the canyon, questions remained about how she ended up there in the first place.
