Sheriff's detectives were piecing together Monday how an Orem teenager's body ended up behind a Utah County church over the weekend.

Investigators theorize that Natalie Michele Farrer, 17, died while partying with friends late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Police said her body was driven to an LDS Church at 1680 N. Geneva Road and dumped in a flower bed about 11 a.m. Saturday, not far from her northeast Orem home."We believe it is possible that drugs were involved in this death," said detective Lt. Steve Turner.

Monday morning, detectives arrested two suspects in connection with the death. Utah County Sheriff Dave Bateman would only say the two were being held "in relation to criminal homicide."

Detectives call the case an unattended death but are investigating the puzzling circumstances as a homicide.

An autopsy Sunday didn't reveal how the Mountain View High School student died. There were no outward signs of trauma to her body.

"The whole thing is pending our toxicological examination," said Rudi Riet, thestate medical examiner's office chief investigator. "We're stymied until we get the tox reports back." That could take a week.

Riet declined to comment on whether there were marks on the body that indicated drug use.

Meanwhile, detectives are narrowing a list of Farrer's friends who might have been with her. Farrer's parents, Steve and Michele Farrer, last saw their daughter Friday night. A Saturday afternoon call from a west Center Street telephone booth - which Turner said sounded rehearsed - told Provo police where to find Farrer's body.

"What the caller said just didn't add up," Turner said. Detectives believe the caller, whom they now believe was a female disguising her voice, might have been involved in Farrer's death.

The sheriff's office says it has obtained a search warrant for an Orem home. Police might be looking for Farrer's shoes, which were not on her otherwise fully clothed body when it was found lying face down next to the church Saturday. Turner declined to comment on what else police might be looking for.

Police initially didn't know Farrer's identity.

Steve and Michele Farrer called the sheriff's office after reading a newspaper account about the found body Sunday morning. They identified her based on descriptions of her body, clothing and other distinctive characteristics, Turner said.

Detective Sgt. Scott Carter said the Farrers literally tore apart their daughter's bedroom looking for a Batman T-shirt she was wearing when last seen. "And it wasn't there," he said.

Farrer was a junior at Mountain View High School and a part-time student at the Alpine Life and Learning Center, Alpine School District's alternative school. She was working toward early graduation.

"She was an avid student," Carter said.

Farrer's classmates at Mountain View were sobbing in the hallways Monday morning. Principal William Delaney made the district's emergency counseling team is available to students.

"You hate to see kids hurt," he said. "It's a tragedy."
