I heard on the radio that authorities were saying it would 'take some time' to confirm the identity of the remains. Sound like there was not much of a body to immediately determine identity, but the personal effects were taken as a possible clue. However, the report was quite neutral in tone, not saying it was or was not likely Landrie at this juncture- 'implying strongly' it was impossible to determine before forensic investigation was done on the remains.
