Missing Simi woman found dead in the desert

The first postcard is signed Elliot Ness, Chloride, Arizona.
The second postcard is "signed" with a Tombstone phone number.
An internet search comes up with that phone number for the former Tumbling Tumbleweed newspaper once located in Tombstone, AZ. The newspaper is no longer published and was once owned by a man named Bob Candland.
Bob Candland was a former police officer in San Diego, California and had bought the Tumbling Tumbleweed newspaper in Tombstone, AZ in 1993.
While there, he exposed a lot of corruption in the local law enforcement. He was accused of murder and threatened with lynching. The murder accusations referred to a series of prostitutes found murdered in San Diego. One of those prostitutes was Donna Gentile. Her mouth was stuffed with rocks, presumably a sign that she'd been killed to keep her quiet."
(Note the second postcard with a picture of just rocks) Before her death in June, 1985, she had filed a lawsuit against Candland and six other policemen for harrassment.
The article also shows the corruption going on in Tombstone in the Marshall's office.
The above excerpts were from the Tucson Weekly:

My take on all this was that someone made a futile attempt to use the postcards to try and implicate Candland in the murder of Renee Fox by listing his phone number on the postcard and making a reference to "Elliot Ness" because of his expose of corruption in the Tombstone Marshall's office (this, I believe, was alluded to in the other postcard showing the LE officer with distorted features and the pictures of alcohol, knowing that a background check would reveal his alleged involvement in the San Diego hooker deaths and his expose of the above-named officers.
With all the threats to Candland above and the corruption he exposed, any of the accused had motive to try and frame him.
If the local LE is aware of this then I can see why they are trying to keep it quiet.

"A human skull has been found in Inyo County that seems to be 2 to 4 years old. And guess what NO FOUL PLAY is suspected."

"Although the remains were actually found some three years ago by a pair of hikers in the Panamint Dunes region of the national park, the bones were so desiccated that extracting a DNA sample proved impossible at the time. However, according to Inyo County Sheriff's investigator Marston Mottweiler, the development of new forensic technology recently produced a workable specimen.
Mottweiler said the sheriff's office had long suspected that the remains were those of Patricia Partin, also known as Nury Alexander, the adopted daughter of Carlos Castaneda and one of his closest disciples. The newly recovered specimen, when compared to DNA samples taken from Partin's mother and three sisters, proved Mottweiler's theory to be true.Officially, the cause of Partin/Alexander's death is undetermined.
Only 70 percent of her skeleton was recovered, along with a few scraps of a pair of pink jogging pants. The skull was never found, but in a land populated by hungry coyotes, this is not unusual. After five years under a brutal desert sun, any secrets the bones might have revealed were long ago worn away.
"
I wonder if that is her skull?

This is just awful:

Rene Fox Memorial Destroyed
Written by Benett Kessler
Monday, 04 August 2008

"Two years ago this of year, the body of 25 year old Rene Fox from Simi Valley, was found outside Independence off Mazourka Canyon Road. Authorities said she died from acute methamphetamine intoxication. Those who sympathized with the young woman's plight created a memorial where her body was found. Local people had kept it maintained until recently when someone destroyed it.

Wayne Deja of Lone Pine said that he and a two women from Independence went to the memorial a couple of times a month to keep things in good shape, including solar-powered lights. Deja, himself, had said he held particular understanding about those taken in by drugs, and he felt sorry for the young woman who got lost in the desert here and died. Deja said unknown people had left angel figurines, stuffed animals and messages and prayers in the wooden prayer box on the site.

At the end of July, Deja stopped by and found that someone had destroyed everything and thrown out all the items. Deja said all the glass angels were broken,stuffed animals torn up, pictures cut up and solar lights broken.

Deja said a hand-written note said, "This religious site has no business on public land, see the First Amendment."

Deja said many people had found the memorial "spiritual and touching." He was saddened by the person who destroyed it. Deja said the prayer books was still intact. He will try to get it to Fox's family to let them know many people did care about Rene Fox's tragic end."

I'm really annoyed about the complacency in the article, as though it's a shame but nothing will be done. It makes it sound as though the vandals() won.

Well you can get away with MURDER in Inyo County, so we can guarantee the ass or asses that did that will get away with that also. What goes around comes around and Believe it "KARMA IS A BITCH!

marked the two year anniversary of Renee's body being found.
