Mummification was done in a refridgerator for week and half or so, but it didn't stop the bugs after the body was dumped about 2/16. I sometimes design frigs, they dry everything not sealed up.

Interesting. Would those very time-specific blowflies still be attracted to tissue that had been frozen and then thawed out?

Anyone?

Well, what about ice crystals? Would they be evident in a refrigerated body? Somebody mentioned freezer burn. Would mummification camoflauge that?

Guess you never figured you'd be going online and giving a short course in cryogentics, huh? LOL

BTW, did you ever get time to check out Matt's site?

But, would the blow flies be interested in the body after all that time? One of the bug guys, I think Haskell, said there were blow flies and the time frame for them is pretty tight since they like "fresh" (This is so awful. That poor girl). I think I have to agree with wonders and say that perhaps she was still alive until maybe the middle of February. I know I'm coming in late to the discussion but this is bothering me.
