The family of 25 year old Susana Roselia Romero buried her today - with emotions of grief and outrage - grief for the loss, and outrage at the indignity and inconvenience they feel the police made them endure.
The body of the mother of two was found yesterday morning 50 feet off the side of the road near San Isidro Village - less than a mile away from where she was last seen on Wednesday of last week. She was nude and in an advanced state of decomposition - both her arms were missing, presumably ripped off by dogs or wild animals.
A special constable who was working with a village search party found her. The search party was activated after she left La Mafia bar in Bella Vista village around 2 am on Thursday morning. The bar was closed and she was inside drinking with a friend, when an American man who resides in the village off and on called her outside. They left in his Ford Ranger - and she was never seen alive again.
That man has been detained by police - two vehicles have also been impounded.
Her family is outraged because the body was found at 8:00 am on Monday and police told them they had to leave it at the scene until an on-site post mortem could be done. But it took another 24 hours for the police Forensic officer Dr. Mario Estradabran to arrive to conduct the post mortem.
That was done this morning and concluded at around noon - when he family put her remains in a pine box and buried her immediately. Police have not disclosed what was the cause of death, if any has been determined.
