If the cops have tracked his cell phone to be in the vicinity of her abduction, then I’d assume the cops are tracking whereabouts in Memphis he went. Also his car, if new enough might well leave some tracks as well.
But if they don’t find the body there’s a bit of a conundrum. Several years ago locally there was a similar case. Woman disappeared. Her car was found some miles away with blood in the trunk. Of course the driver was arrested. But what to charge him with? Car wasn’t reported stolen—he claimed she lent him the car. Blood in the trunk and at her home wasn’t enough to prove a death and they couldn’t prove it was her blood.
Months later, her body was found and the killer was charged.
My guess is that they will find the body quickly
He is stupid.
That’s how they figured out where the Vallow kids were - the brother’s cell phone was pinging around the property of the guy Lori married (2 weeks after his wife died suddenly/unexpectedly).
The perp doesn’t look too bright to me. I don’t think he had a lot of time to dispose of the body, so he probably just dumped her somewhere & she will turn up eventually. If he managed to bury her, that could take a while, but it should be a shallow grave. People find out the hard way that trying to dig a deep one by hand is a lot of work & time consuming. Also, don’t know if there is water nearby, but dumping her in a river might be something he would do.
Anyway, I feel bad for her family & also for her ... how terrified she must have been and to be seeing that ugly mug in your last minutes ... hard to think about.
