  Speaker 1: A collection of human remains discovered at a construction site
• 0:03
  in Lebanon earlier in September has been confirmed to belong
• 0:08
  to a missing woman. On Monday, September twenty three, the
• 0:12
  Metro Nashville Police Department MmpD announced that DNA testing had
• 0:18
  identified the remains as those of twenty three year old
• 0:22
  Blanca Guadalupe Brios Orelana. Orellana was reported missing by her
• 0:27
  mother on August twenty first, after she was last seen
• 0:31
  at her apartment in Antioch a few days prior. Her
• 0:34
  mother stated that the twenty three year old had mentioned
• 0:37
  plans to visit a family member in Murfreesborough. Some days
• 0:42
  I think they took her, and some days I don't
• 0:45
  really think anything. Inez Berrios, Blanca's mother, conveyed to News
• 0:49
  two through a translator. Berrios indicated that Orellana's vehicle was
• 0:54
  located parked at her stepfather's residence, yet the family has
• 0:59
  been unable to concerted him. On September twelfth, a lead
• 1:03
  directed investigators to a residence in Lebanon, where neighbours had
• 1:06
  observed Orellana working just weeks prior to her disappearance. Orellana

  was reportedly employed in the cleaning industry. However, authorities have

  not disclosed the specific reasons that led them to the

  location off Burnt House Road where her remains were ultimately discovered.

  I cannot articulate my feelings as I have lost all
• 1:28
  sources of light, stated the victim's mother, Ines Berrios, in
• 1:33
  an interview with News Too. My daughter's light neighbours reported
• 1:38
  to journalists that they observed officers removing a dumpster located
• 1:42
  on the property during the investigation. The ongoing multi jurisdictional
• 1:47
  inquiry into her death is being conducted by the Tennessee
• 1:51
  Bureau of Investigation with support from the MNPD Missing Persons Detectives,
• 1:56
  as well as officials from Wilson and Rutherford Counties. Authorities
• 2:01
  have not disclosed whether they suspect foul play in connection
• 2:05
  with her death. No additional information was available at this time.
• 2:10
  I am grateful for the support from the people here
• 2:13
  and from my homeland, Burios stated. Once I receive my
• 2:17
  daughter's remains, I plan to send her back to her
• 2:20
  country for burial. Funeral arrangements are still in the process
• 2:24
