Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala said they are still waiting for the autopsy report for Nalani Johnson.
Timeline of abduction, search and discovery of Nalani Johnson
Zappala said the coroner is conducting additional tests to determine if Nalani died from asphyxiation.
Sharena Nancy has been charged with kidnapping, but not with Nalani’s death, which officials said is expected to be ruled homicide by a medical examiner once the cause of death is determined.
Nalani was abducted Aug. 31. Her body was found Sept. 3.
