Body Found On Mt. Tam, Veronica Ruiz?

mttam.jpg

A body turned up on Mount Tamalpais this Sunday afternoon, and authorities (as well as your favorite rabid media outlets) are wondering: is this the body of distraught Mill Valley resident and IRS investigator, 25-year-old Veronica Ruiz?

If you recall, Ruiz went missing in early December, reportedly "despondent" after a recent break-up with her boyfriend. A massive search for her ensued, but was called off since it produced no results. Until this week, according to CBS 5, when "a body was discovered by a Marin County search and rescue team during a training exercise in an area above Mill Valley's Slide Gulch."

The body, whose identity is still unknown, was removed and taken to a the Marin County's coroner officer. An autopsy will determine whether or not its identity belongs to Ruiz, which should be known in a couple of days.

A couple of days?? But on teevee it happens in like a half hour! I suspect corruption! Or a cover up! Somebody needs to sue.

 

if this were Maury, it would be 30 seconds. tops.

 

So sad. Wonder how the ex-boyfriend feels?

 

I wish young women would stop hiking and jogging alone. It is so dangerous for so many reasons.
Didn't mama tell you?

 

Wasn't she armed?

 

Time for an update. She was armed and she used her gun on herself. So sad.
