If the body was under water, unless it was in a barrel or something, I just can't imagine anything soft being left. I suppose it's possible. In the area where I work, underwater critters eat just about anything. Bone structure can tell them a lot. They don't necessarily need soft tissue.

Again, on that end, I'm getting out of my depth. The five year old body we found, we identified through the license tag on the car, and the owner had been missing for five years. Not exactly rocket surgery.

The people who found it supposedly found a blue barrel nearby.
