Still seek answers and myself waiting for LE or someone to announce her case is closed. No her family did not request it. Theyve gone through hell the last 4 or 5 years while NCMEC and Chicago LE have dragged their feet debating what to do while her family "knew" she was probably gone, there was nothing being done by anyone except SSA who did everything she could to get them to $hit or get off the pot. It's why we decided a few years ago to announce it to at least give the family a little bit of "closure".
Fact is that places like NCMEC just do not care about these older cases to spend money to close them.
