It was posted here that LE
believed she had been harmed. Wasn't that after bra and socks were found buried ? Or before ? Besides, LE might have thought she was
believed to have been harmed because she
never came home so they might have thought she was
unable to come home due to injury. Everyone, family and friends said she would never just disappear. Additionally, I think (I could be wrong) LE can put out a statement based on what they believe without having to produce evidence. With the courts however, they are legally required to back up what accusations they make with evidence. Rocky1 our legal expert would know.
