^ I think it was mostly an assumption. The corpse was found in the DiLaurentis backyard. The condition of corpse shows that she's dead (and buried) for about one year and Ali was missing for about one year. On the basis of bones (length, volume...) you can determine the probable body height (and age). I guess that her clothes/shoes/jewellery were washed and then shown to Mrs/Mr DiLaurentis and they confirmed that those belonged to Ali. So they assumed that it's Ali's dead body...
