I believe that it was predation that is responsible for most, if not all of the disfigurement. In one of the photos, before they pulled her shirt/top up over her face and covered her head, you can see a portion of a de-fleshed skull, around the brow-ridge and up towards the crown of the skull. The bra or bikini top is still fastened. If a person did the work on her upper torso, the bra or bikini top would have been in their way, and it would have probably have been cut off of her, or even removed as some mutilation victims that I have worked their crime scene. The asshole can kill them, and then go on to almost butcher them, but they have something still inside their fucked up brain, that they will actually remove clothing, as opposed to cutting it or damaging it... fucked up people, aren't they From the photos in the two sets that are in this thread, it does look like animal predation, not a nut-job that would only want to de-flesh part of her upper arm, part of her torso, and more than likely most of the flesh on her face and skull. Critters will usually start at the head and face, then work down the body to the torso, and out towards the hands. It is too bad that there was not a real back-story with this, and also too bad the po-po covered up her face and head for all but one of the photos shown in this thread,plus it had to be the crappiest quality photo, that gives more information than the rest with something black wrapped over her head... If you are able to zoom-in to about 400-500%, the "cut marks" are not really straight or as if it was sliced with some type of sharp instrument. Just my take on it, Cabriolet.
