FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) — The mother of a Southern California woman who vanished almost 10 years ago says a bracelet found on recently unearthed remains belonged to her daughter.
Nancy Ekelund of Fullerton told The Associated Press on Saturday that she had met with a coroner’s investigator and instantly recognized the gold-link bracelet she had given her daughter as a present when she was 10.
Authorities believe the remains uncovered this week are those of Lynsie Ekelund, a 20-year old Fullerton College student who disappeared in 2001.
Authorities say Christopher McAmis recently confessed to strangling her and burying her in Santa Clarita, about 50 miles away .
Ekelund says officials are expected to formally confirm the identity of the body next week.
