Definitely consider DNA testing, which is booming for genealogical purposes nowadays. In fact, in my own genealogical research, I have contacted DNA matches who were adopted but were genetically related. One example in particular involved us helping this new cousin identify his birth father from...

From my understanding that occurred in Indiana. Is there any rationale to even a baseless connection between these cases, besides Snapchat? Again as someone who uses Snapchat very often, I think any connections between these two cases based on Snapchat alone is just coincidental and due to a...

Can someone please explain why the Delphi murders are being brought up as possibly connected to this case?

Can someone explain to me why many people on here feel that sex trafficking was not involved in this case? I do not know enough about the subject.

Agreed. But if she was taken while running/on her way to her mother's house, the dogs would have likely been locked up. The fact that she was asking what was for dinner but then did not show up is a red flag to me that this happened while she was out of the house.

The more time passes, the more I do think this could be the work of a random predator. Very unfortunate situation, and I hope she is still alive. Statistically we know these cases do not usually end well, but of course we have had miracles before. As many have stated throughout these threads, if...

Wow, that definitely sounds feasible. IK has always fascinated me and I feel that he could be one of the most prolific SK's in history, but unfortunately took this information with him to the grave. Hackensack was where I was born, and I do not live too far from there now; crazy to think that he...

Wow very observant. Did not think to consider that brothers were from another relationship.

DR refers to the Dominican Republic in this case, not doctor.

Wow! Excellently written! And now that I rethink this, I feel that this is the most likely scenario. And when I say random, I mean more an outsider who she somewhat knew. I could definitely see this being how it played out.

From what I've heard, Snapchats are still stored on the server for a period of time, even though they "delete" from the user's point of view. I am sure that LE has probably gotten some of these from Snapchat. As far as screenshotting, there are methods to screenshot without notifying the...

This theory makes a lot of sense to me, especially if the perp is known to her. Has the state of the house upon discovery been publicly described? Just find it a bit strange that we don't know that. I assume that "nothing out of the ordinary" was found in the house, but perhaps if her family and...

So what seems to be the overall consensus here? Not that our opinion matters in reality, but curious to see what people's thoughts are, especially those of individuals who are experienced sleuths.

Interesting thoughts. So do you think that her inner circle has a suspect in mind? Perhaps someone that was obsessed with her. I get mixed vibes from all this.

I see this scenario as very possible, too. I wish at the very least, a timeline would be confirmed. I am getting a "Criminal Minds" vibe from this case, though. With an entire team of FBI agents present behind the scenes, and her family telling her to "hang in there" at least in the first press...
