GIBRALTAR — The rest of the remains of a missing woman still had not been found as of Tuesday afternoon.
Police are continuing the search, which began after the torso of the missing woman was found stuffed in a blue suitcase Thursday along the Frank and Poet Drain.
The suitcase was found in tall grass along the shoreline behind Bella Vista condominiums near Gibraltar Road and West Jefferson Avenue.
Police Chief Raymond Canterbury said it is believed the body could be that of Pamela Prpich, 32, who went missing from Bella Vista on Aug. 12. He said he cannot confirm the identity until DNA results are available.
Prpich’s family told media outlets that they don’t need DNA testing to know it is her body.
Canterbury said police believe she lived at the condominium complex in the 29000 block of West Jefferson Avenue.
Police developed a list of suspects and spoke to a person of interest, but didn’t have anyone in custody as of Tuesday morning.
