This just feels crappy...
Let's just hope that there is some evidence we don't know of yet so they can at least charge him with manslaughter. JMO.ME's "undetermined" manner of death is indeed a stumbling block but this is where investigators need to pick up the pace with the circumstantial evidence. Of course, undetermined is the flashing light for reasonable doubt.
I just saw this last week (Dateline) in the 2015 death of Susan Winters where her death was changed from suicide to homicide.

Family of Vegas attorney, whose death was originally ruled suicide, believes husband killed her
Even in Las Vegas, a place where anything can happen, the story of Susan Winters’ death is shocking.abcnews.go.com
I certainly don’t think she died of natural causes! This is unbelievable!
Yes! The "undetermined" cause of death is understandable but how do the shallow grave and all the circumstantial evidence known thus far not warrant the manner of death as a homicide?This is a defense attorney's dream. But let us remember she was found in a shallow grave.
Can her family request another autopsy? I don't think I've ever followed a case where that's been done.Maybe the family needs someone else to do an autopsy as a second opinion. If that’s allowed. This evil devil needs to be put in a cell for life so his little girl can grow up safe. If they don’t terminate his parental rights, he will poison that child’s mind.

If they can't convict MS, I am worried he will regain custody of his daughter at some point. CC's family must be beside themselves with grief and worry.
MOO.
Family court is civil court, and uses different standards of evidence than criminal court. (Remember that in civil court, OJ Simpson was found to be responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife & her friend, after criminal court found him Not Guilty.)
I do hope the Carli's have skilled family law attorneys, and their family court circuit has plenty of questions about how Ms. Carli's remains came to be in a shallow grave on property controlled by MS' family, after MS is acknowledged to be the last person in contact with her.
jmho ymmv lrr
Good points. Thank you. I am keeping my fingers crossed that CC's family prevails if MS ever pursues regaining custody.
MOO.
