I'm surprised they still haven't released her manner of death. They found her the next day. Seems like they've had plenty of time to determine if it was an accident or homicide.

Maybe that's not how the Navajo Nations deal with the murder of children? Have they even mentioned an arrest? IMO

I'm also surprised that the manner of death wasn't released. We can assume that it wasn't considered accidental by reading the wording of the FBI announcement of a reward for "the arrest and conviction of those responsible" for her death.
