When authorities found 19-year-old Miya Marcano, her body was ‘nearly completely skeletonized,’ and black duct tape was found around her neck, wrists and ankles.
This according to the medical examiner’s report.
He said his examination of Marcano’s body was hindered due to a lack of residual tissue, but a toxicology test conducted on October 4 shows she tested negative for all substances, including fentanyl and cocaine.
Joshua Stephany said, “the manner in which she was found, with multiple restraints and her disposition in an abandoned area of an apartment complex indicates some type of assault, but because of the lack of identifiable soft tissue injuries due to advanced decomposition, the cause of death is the result of homicide by undetermined means.”
She was reported missing on September 24, after she was scheduled to catch a flight home to Fort Lauderdale after her shift ended at 5pm but never made it to the airport and stopped replying to friends and family.
