Hi again Salem and everyone ~
I can try to contact the Detective. You're right, RKnowley, Sgt. Coffman has retired and it was with heavy heart that this case was not solved. He TRULY did all that he could to try to get answers on this. I applaud him on being so approachable tho, and he can rest easy knowing that he and others locally involved DID do much to move this forward, at least. He always had nothing but good things to say about all of you that contacted him over the last couple of years about this case. In fact, he never referred to the case as anything OTHER than "Princess Blue." He gave much thought to your request to bury her and thought it was incredibly generous of all of you, as do I! It was jointly decided NOT to bury her until we had more answers, because of the need to possibly go back to her remains for answers/analysis/evidence. The Univ. of N. TX has a fine facility for these matters and I can promise you, they do this with the best intentions of the case in mind. If we were to bury her, and then at some point needed to re-examine her, I fear the cost and hassle to get her exhumed again would stall the investigation. I know it's not the "proper burial" we, as concerned citizens think she should have, with peaceful breezes blowing and flowers to mark her resting place, but I must agree at this time with the Investigators, in that answers are what she deserves, just as much, if not more...
what do you guys think?
