If it turns out she died of some other means than homicide, I doubt too much fuss will be made over the fact that he provided false statements to LE. Unless he provided false statements to a federal agent, no federal law was broken. At this stage the FBI is not going to get involved I can assure you of that.
I don't think he will be charged with any additional charges like obstruction of justice or interference of an official act. Those are normally misdemeanors and he has already been charged with two felony's. He will most likely be given a plea deal to avoid a trail which will drop one of the charges, which I would suspect will be the tampering charge. He will then accept the plea deal and given the appropriate punishment for what charge he pleads guilty to. Depending on his past history he could be looking at very minimal jail/prison sentence, most of which will be suspended and he will be placed on probation after he serves any time, if he is given time. Even if he was given the maximum five years he would be paroled long before that, unless he was a career criminal, which he is not.
I also think many would be upset if this is how the case ends, but if he didn't cause her death he can't be charged for that or put away for the rest of his life for burying her body like some would want done.

But the FBI has been involved in this case. We don't know to what degree, but at a minimum, they were involved in the search. It was reported in MSM.
JMO, it's entirely possible that DS and possibly the other two men have also been questioned by FBI agents.
Recently, in Nebraska, there was the Sydney Loofe case, which began as a missing person's case. Multiple law enforcement agencies were involved, including the FBI. Sydney's remains were later discovered and she had been dismembered.
At the time of the investigation, it was only known by the public that the FBI was somehow involved. At Aubrey Trail's trial recently, more than one FBI agent testified and we learned they had a very, very active role, not only in the investigation, but also in interrogating Aubrey Trail.
