The Sun reported that rescue teams searched for eight days, before finally giving up on October 3.
On Sunday, The Sun reports a fisherman in the neighboring country of Timor-Leste found human remains, which are believed to be Monfore, in the belly of a shark. The body of the woman was found in a shark in Timor-Leste, which is not an Indonesian territory.
The Pulau Reong island is located northeast of Indonesia, while Timor-Leste is located southeast of Indonesia.
