I wonder if this is a case of law enforcement not having any concrete evidence against the mom other than “you just know” and the person who likely had a more direct hand being deceased.

I hope I’m wrong.

The LE can easily talk with her. Mrs. Imer had several kids taken away from her, for obvious reasons. I don’t believe her issues went away. She depends on state house and some meds, I guess.

They can make her tell the truth in one day. I see nothing but vulnerability - no money, no house, probably, some health issues. At least they can close the case.
Mrs. Imer knows her rights, but the truth is, she doesn’t have that many, given the circumstances.

I am very glad that her younger daughter moved out.

Why do you think it's an open case?

We just visited Colorado and I traveled atound it for the first time in my life.

One thing to understand is that even in contrast to my state, WA, Colorado is sparsely populated. It developed “in spurts”. There was never stable influx of people, perhaps.

In such a situation, a head in the freezer and no one around noticing it for years can happen. I was surprised that many cases that we actively discuss here don’t make big waves locally.

I wouldn't say that Colorado is sparsely populated. It has over 6 million residents. (Compared to 8 million for Washington.)

Most live in the Front Range, on the eastern slope of the Rockies, while Grand Junction lies on the western slope. However, Grand Junction was settled in 1881 and is a city of 65,000. The house where Amanda was found is in a residential area near the city center. Not in some isolated, backwoods location.
