I seem to recall that the last ping was off the cell tower out on Blue Lick Road. That tower is about 3000 feet south of the intersection of Blue Lick Road and Johnson Road.
Edited to add: Go to Google Earth, and look at the area bounded by Highway 21 on the north, Highway 421 on the east, and Burnt Ridge Road on the south. In "globe view" mode, you can see a lot of detail, and see how rugged and thickly wooded that area is. Those two lakes you see are in a holler called Cowbell Hollow. That whole patch of woods is owned by Berea College, and is closed to the general public....no access. This is only speculation, but I've always suspected that he disposed of her remains somewhere in there. The chances of someone (hunter, hiker) finding remains accidentally there are extremely remote, given that there is no public access. But a local boy would know where to hide something there.
Also--and this hasn't been brought up anywhere, as far as I know--just below the summits of hills in that area (particularly along highway 421), there is a limestone formation that is chock full of deep, narrow shafts that are open at the top, but hard to see....if you hike in that area, you have to be careful to avoid falling into one. If a body were dropped down into one of those, it would never be found. I've though about going there to peer into those shafts that I could find, but I'd have to trespass to do it. Thank you for this very useful info. I should have read this before
