It is possible, but nothing in the information available confirms that. The remains have been recovered and are being examined by the medical examiner. Until their identity is established, the connection to Marriott is speculation.

The location explains why people are making the connection. Marriott's killer said her body was put into the river, and it was never recovered. But a find in the same river, even years later, doesn't by itself show who the remains belong to.

There are two separate questions here: whose remains these are, and what happened to that person. The report says both identity and cause of death are under investigation, so even a possible match should not be treated as confirmation of every detail of the case.
