John Zane said the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office is now working to identify the body, but evidence the family has been given - including cell phone data and her last known whereabouts - confirm what no family wants to hear.
The Zane family has even published an obituary, citing Olivia’s emotional struggles brought on by a chemical imbalance. Her family said she fought to get better.
Olivia worked in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University and lived in North Oakland.
