OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- DNA testing confirms that human remains found in southwest Oklahoma City in April are that of a college student from Japan who disappeared nearly six years ago, police said Thursday.
No cause of death has been determined for Mayuko Kawase, 21, said police Sgt. Paco Balderama.
Kawase was attending Oklahoma City Community College when she disappeared in August 2001. She was last seen August 20, 2001, and was reported missing seven days later by her family in Japan.
A group of boys who were hiking on April 14 in a wooded area near a camp found a skull and police later found additional bones.
