“They’re not seeking the death penalty. “
That is not what I have heard. Can you provide a source?
OH, they haven’t up to now because they had no body, but now they may be able to show more of the necessary elements to go for death!
This from a December 12, 2008 story and titled,

“Casey was officially charged for first-degree murder Oct. 14. She has pleaded not guilty to charges ranging from first-degree murder to lying to investigators. She faces life in prison if convicted.”

Maybe your thinking is correct. Perhaps after the child is officially identified they will change it from life to the death penalty.
