Mr Spencer's son, Ian Lee, told the inquest his father was repeatedly questioned by police in relation to other crimes despite being formally acquitted of Elsie's murder.
Mr Frost, who was aged five when Elsie died, told the inquest his sister's death had "split the family wide open" and left his parents feeling guilty.
He agreed with coroner Kevin McLoughlin that Elsie's murder had a "truly devastating impact" on the family and no-one being convicted added to the distress.
"We have so many questions going on around, going through our heads. And it's still happening today. Still many questions out there we feel have not been answered."
In court, Elsie was described in statements as a "model child" who was expected to become head girl at school.
