I transcribed the press conference in realtime. Here is the Q&A portion at the end -- well, it's actually just the A's because the reporters weren't mic'd so I couldn't hear the actual questions. (Pardon any typos; I didn't proofread it. I wanted to get it out to you guys as quickly as possible). I'll post the first part in a minute ...
A. Folks, I can take a handful of questions here. Understand, a lot of details we start getting down literally into the weeds I'm not going to be able to go there, but I'll try to answer the questions to the best of my ability with the information I have available.
A. It was found with the evidence research team from the FBI, and they had K-9 assistance, yes.
Q. Do you suspect foul play is now involved in the investigation?
A. This is going to be a criminal investigation, there's no doubt about that. Cause and manner of death, we're going to wait for the autopsy results from the coroner's office to determine exactly what kind of death this is going to be, but we suspect that she did just not go off by herself and fall into some bushes and die.
A. I'm no not going to get into specifics, Adam, concerning the square footage or the distance from her house, but it was the immediate proximity of steering Steele Creek Mobile Home Park in a wooded area.
A. We're focusing on that and we're heading in that direction. So far we don't have anybody specifically identified that we can provide a name.
Q. Was she a wearing the T-shirt and jeans that was in the possible sighting?
A. Can't answer that. I don't have that information.
A. We are focusing on trying to narrow in on a suspect.
Q. Are we ruling out an accident?
A. Not ruling out anything, but it's a criminal investigation; there's no doubt about that.
A. I don't have that information specifically on their status. I do know that the family, we've gone through the formal notification process with the family and we're trying to assist them in getting the appropriate grief-counseling services set up.
A. That's why we searched again and again and again, because sometimes it could be that microscopic piece of evidence or that scent that the dog didn't pick up the first team, another team may go in there and find again.
A. I believe we did. Let me research that and get back to you, Adam, on the specific track trail of any K-9s.
A. To be determined, Keith. Don't know that answer.
A. Through developments -- the home? I'm talking about the crime scene or the site where she was found.
A. Yes, we do. Part of the investigative process when we have a situation like this is to go back into the village, or the mobile home park in this case, and start resurfacing or recanvassing what we need to do to find somebody who may be responsible for this. That's the best way I can put it to you without getting into details that could possibly compromise our situation.
