Where the clothes were located is were she was assulted and she's still in the area, the rivers current carried her for a distance before stopping at the rivers edge because of some stones/branches. She was wearing some jewelry so using a metal detector would be a good idea if doing a search. Have already sent a tip to the local police.

Never heard of this case til just now...

My initial thought is, if Shelly had a hearing impairment and was walking after dark on a busy highway, perhaps a car accidentally struck her? It doesn't indicate the severity of the hearing loss, nor if she wore a hearing aid or anything, but perhaps she couldn't hear a horn warning. A driver could have panicked and disposed of her body somewhere.
