The following day, June 13, 2024, Police at Tema Community 25 found the body of a dismembered woman.

The Chronicle reported that sometime in December 2024, Lamisi’s daughter was invited to the Crime Laboratory, accompanied by some family members, where her blood sample was taken.

The paper also obtained from a highly placed police source at the headquarters that ideally, the body's hair and teeth should have been made available to facilitate the process.

Still, since these parts are missing, the scientific investigation must focus on the hip bone.

This was on Friday, June 14, 2024, two days after she disappeared from home.
