I hate to ask this but would they even need her body to charge him with murder? They have his car and if they can prove there was blood from Eliza there, would that be enough to charge him?
There have been many ‘no body’ murder convictions.
IF they have video that shows him attacking her, a stranger, and dragging her into his vehicle, (video is probably not clear enough to prove it’s he, but the DNA on the slides left at the scene is evidently his.)
AND IF they have her blood in his vehicle, showing that violence was done to her
AND if there is no evidence of her existing, a woman who lived a stable life, from that moment forward
ADD to that as time passes, IF there is no activity on her Social Security number, no activity on her bank account(s),
THEN I think they could charge him with murder. I don’t think they’d go for the death penalty in a no-body case, unless they had overwhelming physical evidence of her death. (Enough blood that it’s obviously that she could not have survived. I doubt that they have that, though.)
