Rest in peace, Ms. Redecker.

Rest peacefully, Becky. You deserved so much more investigatory effort than your MP case was given. My condolences to her loved ones.

Where is everyone getting the information about Becky being homeless and living in parks? I've seen commenters mentioning it but haven't seen it in any articles or in the press conference

There are bulletins released by the county sheriff and crime stoppers mentioning it.

Also this article says she lived in parks the year preceding her death, and that she was “likely homeless” at the time of her death. She had previously lived in group homes, so for one reason or another was somewhat vulnerable.

This shouldn’t have taken this long to connect. I’m curious to know what LE did after her family reported her missing. Cases like this should make it clear that responses like “she’s a runaway” or “she’s homeless” don’t work, and shouldn’t preclude someone from being entered into the system as a missing person.

My impression was that there may have been an adoption that might have delayed the DNA match? In one LE quote it says they used DNA to find her "birth father".

Possibly, or just an estrangement. But her identity should have been resolved back in the 1990s.

I've noticed the title of this thread doesn't show that Becky has been identified. Is there someone we need to contact to update it?

I have reported my own comment before. It asks for a reason and alerts the mods.

Just wanted to point out how spot-on the latest NCMEC recon was!
