Pretty close... but it's a court of law and physical evidence wasn't there. Circumstantial evidence is a mountain high, though, and purely from a logic standpoint, it's really tough to wrap your brain around the notion that she didn't do it.
Why the duct tape? Why the dumped car? Why the 30 days of partying while talking to NOBODY about her missing or dead daughter? If her dad was in on the cover-up, he sure as hell didn't help her much. If they'd agreed to say she's missing, they'd have to report is almost immediately.
Doing nothing was pretty hardcore incriminating.

There was basically nothing else.
Throw in a very fishy grandfather, and you aren't certain who did it ... mom or grandad. It is very easy to sit at home and say "so and so likely did it, she's guilty" but are you certain enough to sign the woman's death order? |
