It strikes me as unlikely that the victim is alive. I doubt she was alive when she was taken from the house. But one never knows at this point. Yet I remember the Elizabeth Smart case.

As unsettling a case as this is, I am not concerned that the police and FBI are not doing enough. Sometimes there is only so much they can do with what they know. It may be that more evidence that could be introduced at a trial is needed. Or it may be that while they have cleared people they investigated before, and really do not know.

It is an interesting case.
