Legal information for folks:

Without a body, there is NO case at all. Nothing. He either has to admit he did something to her, OR, they have to find a body. Otherwise, no charges can be filed.

You can use circumstantial to convict someone for murder without finding the body.

They need to look at the bottom of the cliffs they hiked.

“... or they have to find a body. Otherwise, no charges can be filed..”

Wrong. There was a case in my county decades ago where a Mom went missing. No body. They had a bit of evidence from their young child... but she could only testify that she saw her mom’s legs on the ground. He was convicted and they found her body AFTER the conviction via a jail house snitch. May be a harder case to prove but you don’t need a body.
