Hey Kim:

I found a great example of how a cadaver can become completely "dehydrated" and become a natural mummy, without the removal of water filled internal organs and where cell membranes are there but shrunken (like freezer burnt). See: "Ice Man" http://info.uibk.ac.at/c/c5/c552/forschung/Iceman/iceman-en.html

Is it possible that Danielle's body could have been "dehydrated" in a cold/dry environment somewhere wrapped so bugs couldn't get to her?

I don't know why link is not working.

Nevertheless, I wonder if it's possible that she could have become frozen or freezer burnt after death, say for two weeks, wrapped in something. Her skin would then take on that black-dehydrated-burnt look, but still not be mummified. If she were frozen when placed there, thawing of her body might have taken a few days before bugs could get to her. As she thawed, then Putrefication could have then began as the thawed body fluids sunk to areas touching the ground. - Just somemore thoughts -
