I remember there were a lot of speculations about how the FBI came to this conclusion after YY was presumed dead on June 30. And around the mid of July, the Zhang family lawyer Mr. Wang told a Chinese reporter that the FBI did not disclose any details of the case to the family, but there was a sign that the body probably had been found already and the LE was conducting some forensic examinations though he wasnt sure. So does it mean by the time YY was claimed dead, the LE already had something in hand, was just waiting for the forensic results to confirm it.
Now two months later, I wonder what that something is, if it was a body or remains of a body like legs, arms, torso or whatever, why did the LE not inform the family yet and keep telling them they hadnt found YYs body? I don't know much about the judicial procedures in the United States, but does police really need that long to inform their families and return the bodies/body parts to them? Well, it made me wonder what the LE found might be something really horrible, like human tissues, ashes etc. that means the body might have been destroyed, and left very little to be found and examined, can this explain why the families are not informed anything and it takes this long for the additional charges, probably a death penalty to be indicted?
The information we have now forces me to think in this direction, Previously, I simply thought that the suspect just strangled her, then dumped her in a river, cornfield or buried her somewhere. After all, the suspect is young and had zero criminal records, this is the first time he committed a crime.
