What nags at me is how certain police are that she was killed. Granted, this many years later, that's an easy conclusion to draw; but at the time they had no way of knowing she hadn't simply run off. The family, too, is quoted as saying to media that they "believe she died shortly after she disappeared."
In an era where teenagers were running off and "dropping out" of society on a regular basis, what convinced them this was not likely in Lynne's case, and what on earth happened to prevent Durst from being (officially) a suspect until last summer??
So odd. I feel like police must have some kind of forensic evidence--must have had it all along--but for some reason couldn't announce it publicly, though it seems (if in fact they have it) that they made it known to the family.
They took at least one family member out to show them the national park last summer, and I feel they would have only done this if they were certain Lynne's body was in there somewhere. It was meant as some kind of closure, or attempt at it--that's my take, anyway. I don't think you'd take a grieving person to a national forest and say, "Here's one of the many places she might be." I just don't see it. And considering that, while there, they explained "We didn't have enough resources to search this at the time," it sounds an awful lot like they found something. Or at least that they're telling family they found something--unfortunately, nothing can really be taken at face value. But the fact that police stuck with this case so long--some of the primary investigators have since died--means it's still very important to them. I find that amazing, and am grateful they still care.
