Some of the bones found two days ago in rural Cass County have been identified as those of missing Raymore woman Jessica Runions.
Kansas City Police notified the Runions family Wednesday evening, according to a release from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. Runions, 21, was last seen on Sept. 8.
Forensic specialists were called in after a mushroom hunter found human bones Monday afternoon near a quarry in rural Cass County. One skull was found the first day of the search and a second the day after.

That's rough you know? Kinda cliche if you ask me. Is it better to hope for a happy ending and not know or is it better to know the horrible truth? All I know is if it was my kid, I'd be pulling a Sam Jackson from A Time to Kill. [Reply]

I would say that there's a pretty good chance he did something stupid like leave his cell phone on when he dumped the bodies so they will be able to trace his location. [Reply]

I wouldn't think they would be able to with Kopetsky since it was so long ago. Doubt they could even if he had the same provider as he does now. But with Runnion? I would think that is a possibility. [Reply]

They need a warrant foe his phone records I think. I have no clue how far back they can go. [Reply]

He may have had a cell phone the first time around, but it may have been some sort of flip phone and the carrier has probably erased the records since then. Now that they have found where he dumped the bodies, it should be much easier for them to tie him to that location. [Reply]
