‘Lots of questions in Jack’s death need answers’
A lot of questions need to be answered behind the death of 18-year-old Traina Suda Jack, according to Department of Public Safety Commissioner James C. Deleon Guerrero.
In an interview on Friday, Deleon Guerrero said they are hoping that Guam chief medical examiner Dr. Aurelio Espinola’s forensic analysis would reveal something of the circumstances behind Jack’s death, and answer the many questions that these circumstances raise, such as why the remains were in a jungle.
Deleon Guerrero, however, stated that the analysis takes time as it all depends on the extent of analysis Espinola has to perform in order for them to arrive at a conclusion.
Espinola’s autopsy did not reveal any type of identifiable trauma on the bones such as fracture, stab, or gunshot. He, however, stated that further microscopic analysis on bone fragments from the skull is needed to determine Jack’s cause of death.
Espinola positively identified the remains as that of Jack’s, using a photograph that showed her dental features.
Deleon Guerrero declined to comment on the recovery of an electric cord at the site where Jack’s remains were found near Obyan Beach.
Family members and relatives recovered the looped electric cord, measuring about two and half feet, last Thursday, bolstering their belief that Jack may have been strangled. They also recovered pieces of bones during the sifting the soil in the jungle area, where the remains were found last May 11.
Jack was last seen on Oct. 22, 2014.
