Several reasons: 1.) The police do not have a positive ID of the victim. If the partial remains are that of AY, all the circumstances add up. In the rare event they are not. The circumstances just became exponentially complicated. 2.) Because it seems the partial remains were found in a basement shared by multiple tenants, a defense argument could site that this is circumstantial; several people have access to this basement. 3.) They don't have all the evidence they desire. AY's car is still missing which could provide alternate evidence that connect her to this specific crime. Sadly, it appears some of the victim's remains are also still missing. 4.) It's possible there isn't actually evidence of homicide at this point, only evidence to suggest mutilation to a corpse.
They were friends on facebook, for how long I don't know.
JJC's facebook indicates he joined FB in May 2018. So, unless he has past accounts, they've been FB friends for no longer than 7 months. Several news outlets have referred to him as an "acquaintance", as have social media posts.
Yeah, it is unknown how long they knew each other. Ashley's own current FB only goes back to June. Hard to know.
I think I saw on the news last night that the mother said they haven't found the phone, just that it just rings and rings and then goes to voicemail. That would be an indication That it's dead right?
I saw on a news clip that her neighbor said that one of the reasons she put things together to call the police is that she saw this man drive away in what could be Ashley's car, among the smell, him looking around, etc.
