Thanks for the info and background, Cheyne. Appreciated.
If Carrie's family wasn't notified that the body had been positively identified as hers before the news was released to media, that is really careless and unprofessional -- I agree.
Since her body was identified, investigators from Davenport (where she was from), Rock Island, Hastings and Dakota County – as well as the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office where her autopsy was conducted – have met to exchange what they know about the case and determine which agency should own the case. It was decided that Davenport Iowa police would continued to lead the investigation.
I have to believe they're all over McVay and just collecting enough evidence to make charges stick; hope that they're all cooperating with each other without any pissing contests between the investigative agencies from the different locales.
Snip:
Authorities were awaiting results of some tests conducted during autopsy to help determine how and when Carrie Olson died. Now that the lead investigative agency has been decided to be Davenport, they can focus on determining how Carrie Olson got from the Quad Cities to Minnesota and who, if anyone, is a suspect in her disappearance and death. (HOTD: the "if anyone" stipulation makes it sound like LE thinks it could be a death from natural causes or suicide -- seems impossible. Maybe they're just being extra cautious and waiting for final autopsy results ruling it a homicide.)
“At this time, everyone is analyzing a tremendous amount of new information,” Assistant Davenport Police Chief Donald Schaeffer said.
