Family members positively identified the victim as Thelma Liza Cachero, who had been unaccounted for since the end of January.
According to her relatives, Cachero left their home in Sitio Lower Sapilang on the morning of January 30 to report for work as a saleslady at a mall.
Closed-circuit television footage showed her walking out of the house and heading toward the main road, where she was expected to hail a tricycle for her commute.

However, concern grew later that afternoon when the wife of her cousin went to her workplace to fetch her, only to be told that Cachero never showed up for her shift.
Efforts to contact her through her mobile phone were unsuccessful, further alarming the family.
Relatives then sought help from the public, hoping someone might have seen her or had information about her whereabouts.
Nearly three days later, her body was discovered in a grassy area not far from the community, bringing a tragic end to the search. The remains were immediately sent for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
While official results are still pending, the victim’s relatives said they observed indications suggesting she may have been stra*ngled, noting that her identification card was found wrapped around her neck.
Police authorities said a full investigation is ongoing as they work to establish the circumstances surrounding Cachero’s death and identify any persons who may be involved in the crime.
