Or 6/1/2015 could be 9 added from left, then 9 added from right.

I presume they found her car because it's never mentioned as missing.

This article South Dakota authorities looking for cellphone of Sioux City woman who died says they were looking for her cell phone and another vehicle that was seen in the area, but I didn't see anything about whether they were located.

Bumping for Alicia.

I did a search today to see if anything new was discovered. No, but there was a small mention of her in this article from yesterday: Investigators Offer Reward In Haas Cold Case

Really hoping for answers soon.

Bumping for fresh eyes on the case.

I hoped Alicia‘s killer would’ve been arrested by 2021. It terrifies me knowing we have serial killers driving our highways.

Following and hoping someone has the opp soon to check the dates and posts belonging to JC currently on FB, for Alicia, on this possible occasion, as his crimes are being exposed, and E&Ls murders, too.
TIA
LPD has a rather moderate case load.

(Thanks to the keen eyes and minds who mentioned Alicia’s case in Abby’s and Libby’s thread. It’s because of this I learned about her case and was able to create a thread.)

Bringing this over from Abby’s and Libby's Thread:

Bumping this up.

She seemed like such a beautiful soul. It makes me so angry that murderers are completely okay with taking a life like they do.

Agree. Really funny. She truly cared about friends. Loved small children. This is a real head scratcher for sure.

Outside of a watch and wait predator situation (which of course is a possibility)....

Could it be possible the “others” at Myron Grove were doing something and may have been afraid she captured them or whatever they were doing on her phone (affair, drug deals, etc.). It sounds like her last photos were very near to the time of her death.

Others there but they haven’t came forward:
Alicia’s messages revealed that there were others at the river access the day she was murdered, but that is something Clay County Sheriff Andy Howe doesn’t find unusual. What he finds unusual is the silence surrounding those that may have been there.

“Not one person has come forward to us to tell us they were there,” Howe said.

Four years later, Sioux City woman's unsolved murder still haunts her family, friends

Authorities are still seeking information about a dark-colored sedan with tinted windows and a loud exhaust system seen in the area around the time Alicia went missing.

Weapon not found:
An autopsy showed she died of drowning in the Missouri after receiving blunt force trauma to her head and an incised wound on her neck. Howe said that any murder weapon was never found.

Signs of Struggle:
At the funeral, A— A— remembered the high collar Alicia was dressed in and the long sleeves that covered up the bruising on her hands and arms. She believes Alicia fought back that day at Myron Grove, a thought that haunts her to this day.

Alicia’s cell phone has never been recovered.

The last pictures Alicia Hummel took of herself were moments before her murder.

DNA:
Lab analysis of evidence collected at the scene has been completed, but Howe said he can't comment on what it revealed because the case is ongoing. In addition to the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Howe's office has gotten help from the FBI with profiling DNA evidence and compiling psychological profiles.
One year after Hummel's death, friends, police still seek answers

I wonder if she or he threw the phone into the river? Probably couldn't find it because of the silt but maybe some adventurous divers or bottom scanners could take a stab at it?

In those last pics, Alicia has a sweet face, she could easily be mistaken for such a younger girl, especially hanging out on a bridge with a fish pole on a school day.

I agree, and Snapchatting a photo of herself that morning. Young and alone.

Dear @Tiff23fr,

Thank you for setting out the information in this very sad and tragic case.

From reading everything, it's evident that Alicia Hummel was such a beautiful soul.

It's so good to hear that the F.B.I. worked on this case, "with profiling DNA evidence and compiling psychological profiles". (as per the quote in your post). Perhaps the perpetrator left a "signature". It would be interesting to read the psychological profile.

I hope for the sake of her family and friends (especially her best friend) that this case is solved soon. My heart goes out to them.

There is always hope.

Local news station plans to have a report tonight on AH. Their teaser story promises to, "show you the photos Alicia put on Snapchat as she preparing to head out fishing and we uncover evidence left at the scene, now public for the first time."
