No-body cases are always more difficult than murder cases with a body, but just skimming the successful no-body prosecutions, they seem to have one or more of the following to have a chance of conviction.
1. A crime scene where the murder occurred (but the body was removed from), say with blood.
2. A person the victim was last seen alive with.
3. Confessions (often disputed or claimed coerced)
4. Threats against the victim (I'll kill my ex)
5. A history of violence against the victim (this time he not only beat her but killed her) or other victims.
6. A financial motive such as killing someone for the insurance.
Lloyd may or many not have confessed to a fellow inmate (jail house snitch) but even if he did, it could have been jailhouse bragging, "I'm a murderer."
Lloyd (assuming he is the long-hair man) looked at the girls at Wheaton Plaza long enough for a witness to make a sketch of him, but there has been no evidence that he talked to the girls after that. It's my favorite theory that Lloyd may have followed the girls or randomly run into the girls since they both took the same walking route, but there is no evidence to support this. There is some evidence that the girls were walking down Drumm Ave alone.
