Remains of murdered Pinay home after 11 years

WAYNESBORO, Virginia: When the parents of Karen Santillan Tait receive any time this week the cremated remains of their daughter, who has been missing for more than 10 years, US authorities are hoping the grieving parents would somehow find closure over her sad, tragic fate.

Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Cuisia Jr. said on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) that the Philippine embassy has issued the consular mortuary certificate to the Gaten’s Harding Funeral Home in West Virginia, where Karen’s remains have been kept as a case of missing “Jane Doe” for more than a decade, paving the way for the repatriation of her remains to Legazpi City in Albay.
