The autopsies have been completed on the bodies of a woman and baby boy that washed up on the California shore yesterday, but the coroner could not identify the bodies. They were badly decomposed and the woman's body is said to be skeletal. Thus, it is not known if the remains are of Laci Peterson and her child.

Police say yesterday's news reports that the woman was in maternity clothing are wrong. They have only recovered a "standard woman's bra."

Many news reports yesterday stated the baby was still attached to an umbilical cord. No word today on whether that is correct.

The bodies washed up two miles from the Berkeley Marina where Scott Peterson, Laci's husband, says he went fishing on Christmas Eve day. His lawyer today said that his client is "very concerned and broken up at the prospect that [the body] may be his wife."

Update: The police are saying they are going to consult with an expert on the decomposition of bodies in water. Here's a site where you can learn about it for yourselves.
