ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Crime Library) — Police have positively identified a body found last week in a Wasilla forest as 52-year-old Mindy Schloss, a psychiatric nurse from Anchorage who went missing 6 weeks ago.
Mindy's body was found Thursday in a wooded area off West Murray Road, approximately 5 miles from downtown Wasilla. Investigators have declined to answer questions from the media about how the body was found; however, they have said the person who discovered her partially decomposed remains is not connected to the case.

On Friday the Anchorage Police Department told the media Mindy was positively identified through dental records; they also confirmed she was a victim of homicide. However, they would not comment on how they were able to make that determination.
"It's good that it's over, that they found her," Mindy's sister-in-law, Mary Schloss, told the Anchorage Daily News on Saturday. "Now it's time to get on with the trial. Now that they have her, hopefully they can get some good evidence."
Mindy was last seen at her South Anchorage home on the 6800 block of Cutty Sark Circle on Friday, August 3, at 7:00 p.m. Coworkers reported her missing 2 days later, when she failed to show up for work. When police arrived at Mindy's house, she was nowhere to be found. Her car, a 2000 red Acura Integra hatchback, license plate DVP231, was missing.
