Remains are Not Lori Bova

The human remains found on the Allegheny Reservoir on September 26 are not those of Lori Bova.

In a news release issued today, Cattaraugus County Sheriff's deputies say forensic examinations performed by the Erie County Medical Examiner's Office and forensic anthropology at Mercyhurst College have ruled out Bova.

Bova was last seen in Lakewood, New York, in 1997.

Last week, authorities ruled out Corrie Anderson, a Jamestown-area woman who has been missing for nearly a year.

Deputies say the remains are that of a female between the ages of 25 to 45 with a stature of 5' 1" to 5' 8". Race has not been determined yet.

Although not mentioned in the news release, this also rules out Warren resident Damien Sharp, who has been missing since Memorial Day weekend of 2002.

Although police have not released names of any other missing persons being considered in the investigation, other notable missing person cases include Josephine Cottone-Despard, who was last seen at the Olean Center Mall in February of 1994; and Joey Lynn Offutt of Sykesville, who has been missing since July of 2007.
