Police: Human remains found in Coleman County could be Brownwood woman

BROWNWOOD - Human remains discovered Monday in a remote area of Coleman County could be that of Michele Reiter, a 38-year-old missing Brownwood woman, authorities said.
Brownwood Police Chief Mike Corley said the remains that of an adult woman were discovered around 10:30 a.m. Corley declined to say whether a search group or law enforcement made the discovery.
Corley said the body has been sent to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office for positive identification.
"At this time, we believe this to be Michele, but official confirmation will have to be made at autopsy," he said. "We do not have a cause or manner of death. It would be premature and inappropriate for us to speculate on either one at this point."
Corley told the Abilene Reporter-News the body was "badly decomposed" and did not have obvious injuries.
Reiter was reported missing Sept. 11 after her roommate said she did not return home the night before, according to a handout released by friends looking for the Brownwood woman.
