When the woman found the bone on monday, she did not report it at once. Instead, she picked up the bone and took it home. After 3 days, the woman reported the bone. Once the woman reported the bone, the investigation started. Nevertheless, the investigation would not be accurate because it did not start once the bone was found. The woman should report to the police immediately when she found the bone.
