DNA tests confirm a skeleton found February 26th in the Mark Twain National Forest near Bradleyville is that of a 19-year-old Hollister woman who disappeared from her apartment last March 20th. A task force headed by the Hollister Police Department is now working with the Taney County Sheriff’s Department and the State Highway Patrol to investigate the death of Rebecca Sutton. The Sheriff says the woman’s death is being treated as a homicide because the remains had been concealed.
