They don't need to; LE knows where they are going. People get impatient when they have to wait while the evidence is compiled in a circumstantial evidence case. What is frustrating is that even if they can prove murder they may not be able to find the body. They want to do that both for a conviction and for the family.

Yes yeti it's from dec 31st. I guess iaf97 is right..I was thinking it might help them find the body quicker, if they hire a private investigator..but in Chandra's case, she 'left a map'..which was a huge clue..

someone asked about the reward money earlier..or maybe on a different thread..

Reward increased for missing pregnant woman
Saturday, December 28, 2002
(12-28) 16:52 PST MODESTO, Calif. (AP) --

The reward for a missing pregnant woman ballooned to $500,000 Saturday after a massive donation from a family friend who asked to remain anonymous.

The man wrote a check for $375,000, single-handedly quadrupling the reward for information leading to the safe return of Laci Rocha Peterson, according to a foundation coordinating the volunteer effort to find the missing woman.

"He doesn't want any of the attention," said Kim Petersen, executive director of the Carole Sund-Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation. "He just wants Laci home."

The man is from the Modesto area, but asked that no other identifying information be released, Petersen said.
