Its hard not to put your tin foil hat - So many strange deaths linked to those involved in this ring
Sandringham Estate body named as Alisa Dmitrijeva
Detectives investigating the murder of a young woman found on the Queen's Sandringham Estate have named the victim as 17-year-old Alisa Dmitrijeva.
Her body was found by a dog walker in woodland at Anmer, near King's Lynn, on New Year's Day.
Latvian-born Miss Dmitrijeva was identified by comparing detail from her palm with records held.
Miss Dmitrijeva, from Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, was last seen in Friars Street, King's Lynn, on 31 August.
In a press statement, Miss Dmitrijeva's family said they were "devastated" by news of her death.
Forensics experts had struggled to identify the body.

Attempts to get a useable DNA profile for Miss Dmitrijeva from tooth and muscle samples were inconclusive.
The teenager was finally identified by comparing details from her palm with records held, which were further verified by DNA from her thigh bone.
A £5,000 reward was offered for information about Miss Dmitrijeva's whereabouts in December, just over three months after she went missing.
A Facebook advert, translated into Lithuanian and Latvian, was also used to try to trace the missing teenager.

(3,182 posts)To me at least the following sentence raises a lot of questions:
"Attempts to get a useable DNA profile for Miss Dmitrijeva from tooth and muscle samples were inconclusive."
Do they mean that the samples were contaminated? In what sense is the term "useable" being used?
DNA profiling has really come along in the last 10 - 15 years, and it makes me wonder just why it was so difficult in this case.
Apparently she was only dead a few months before they found her so it's not like we're looking at neolithic remains.
I'm tempted to wonder whether some attempts were made by the forensic staff to botch it deliberately.
But of course shit happens everyday like security cameras malfunctioning and sleeping guards - you know, just coincidence.
