Could she have been a foster? I know we aren’t allowed to picture or name them in the newspaper I work for.
Who in the world was living on that property? This stinks like a cover-up! They never released the girl's name. Nothing mentioned on national news...this poor child!
Oh! I remember this case! Such a strange one with the sheriff withholding information. The house at 1049 Miller Rd. (per the Iowa County Sheriff's Office press release) is huge - over 8500 square feet plus a 2400 square foot guest house.
A little sleuthing revealed that a family was associated with the property but it's not clear if they have anything to do with this case. The estate was on the market then taken off and now appears to be back on for a listing price of 1.5 million.
More sleuthing says the owners invited relatives who had 5 kids to live there and help operate their business. Again, I don't know if any of these people are part of the case so I will let y'all sleuth for yourselves. I haven't seen anything about foster kids so far.
I'm surprised no reporter has dug into this case. Small town privacy issues or something more?

I had forgotten about this girl. That home is amazing and huge. I see a sale is now pending, I wonder if her death had to be disclosed to the buyer? I feel like this may have been a money talks situation since it's so quiet.
The property is up for sale. It sits empty. There are pics at the below link. Weird repetitive asking price going back years.

You were (IMO) spot on with your assessment.BBM
Questions of guardianship, legal status of death and next of kin loom ominously here.
The suspects will make an initial court appearance on July 9.More information on Selah
