I agree with you on that, KatK. My guess would be it was someone she knew of or was relatively familiar with enough for their not to have been evidence of a struggle. Also until they can determine whether or not it is a secondary crime scene.. if it is secondary then the place where the actual murder occurred would need to be found and evidence taken from there. I don't understand why the killer would bother to take the bicycle with her and dump it unless they are very smart or have done this before to throw off LE..
To cart a bike around only would make them have more work to do with wiping off prints from it and whatnot. I wonder if someone she knew lured her into the cemetery with some ploy such as a lost pet or whatnot; it wouldn't have been the first instance of such a case. An innocent child, unsuspecting would fall victim to such a ploy. I guess LE will have to go by the toxicology report. That should be able to tell them (assuming a chemical was used due to lack of physical trauma) about the killer and his/her familiarity with different drugs/chemicals. Maybe they can work from there.
Smaller towns/areas do not usually have a lot of crime so the demand for surveillance cameras isn't high. Unfortunately, the lack of this type security also provides opportunity for predators.
I would not rule out the suspicious vehicles altogether; there usually are more than one of the same in an area. The older van sounds like it could be a Ford Econoline style type deal. Ford Ranger pickup trucks are relatively small and most come off the factory line in darker colors. They also aren't always 4 wheel drive; it's optional - even the older models. There has to be a balance where it's not a hysterical "witch hunt" for the vehicles yet not rule them out altogether.
