GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Police have identified the remains found by hunters in rural Brown County as a 32-year-old Allouez woman who's been missing for five years.

The Brown County Sheriff's Department says Areerat Chuprevich, a native of Thailand, was last seen in April 2003.

Investigators say the man identified as the prime suspect in her disappearance hung himself in May 2006 at the Wisconsin Resource Center, where he was serving a 10-year sentence in an unrelated beating case.

Hunters spotted Chuprevich's skull Nov. 26 sticking out from a shallow grave in a wooded marsh near the Brown and Manitowoc county line.

Chief Deputy John Gossage says she died of a gunshot wound to the head.
