Around the same time, police in Buena Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, found Fiore stuffed in a suitcase in a dumpster, naked, with her fingers and teeth removed.

She was identified using the serial numbers of her breast implants.

If not for the implants, it makes you wonder if he would have got away with it?

Just finished watching an RCMP Press Conference on the CBC. Once again it sort of was a waste of time: (1) for the second day in a row, they had failed to put microphones out in the audience for the Press to use so you only heard the responses of Sgt. Duncan Pound to the reporters' questions. (2) He wouldn't or couldn't comment on most of the reporters' questions as it might compromise the investigation. The only thing I got out of it is, that they now know the identity of the "mystery woman" who checked Ryan Jenkins into the motel. CBC reporter, Eric Rankin, speculated that it was Jenkins' first wife based on the motel manager's identification of her but this was not confirmed by the RCMP.

I didnt know implants had serial numbers. Weird.

I guess failing this, they could run what was left of her body against a likely list of missing person and do a DNA test.

Maybe one day they will microchip humans. Who knows what the future holds?
These detective shows on TV give people a lot of ideas.
I think in the old days, a lot of people disappeared. About 15 years ago construction crews found a lady in an oil drum under the showroom floor of a recently closed, and well known, Toronto car dealership. The thing is, the showroom floor had been laid down circa 1949! It was a bit of a local mystery for a while, but somehow, the police solved it.

As they say on the Sopranos when a character goes MIA, "S/he went in the Witness Protection Program."

Never would have thought of that as a way to ID someone. Learn something new every day.

I knew. 

As far as I know, everything that they put in the human body
that is not biologic (fake bones implants, fake eyes, fake hearts, etc) has a serial number. To help with the quality control.

And I think bilogic parts have papers for the provenance of it
(remembering a scandal about a mortuary business that sold body parts of deceased ones).
