Reconstruction of the skeleton revealed the following information:
- Most of the bones were fragmented, scattered, or burned beyond recognition. Many were missing.
- The victim was determined to be male. Examination of the skull's sagital suture reveals that the victim was an adult, age unknown.
- A clean cut at the transverse process reveals that the victim's head was severed by a semi-sharpened instrument, possibly a shovel, before being burned. The right lateral epicondyle of the humerus and the left tibia were also severed, possibly by the same instrument.
- The bones of the victim's right hand revealed evidence of a gold ring. The metal was totally melted but left a molecular residue on the tissue. This indicates that robbery may not have been the motive for the crime.
- Thirty-one teeth were still intact, and these have been sent to a dental forensics specialist for evaluation.
