Never had much hope that Isabel was alive, but it's still sad to know that the sweet little girl is definitely dead.
Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus would not confirm when or where her remains were located, but said the remains were sent to an independent lab for DNA analysis. The results of the DNA analysis confirmed the remains to be that of Isabel Celis.
Chief Magnus would not release what led authorities to the location of where her remains were discovered, but said it was not "happenstance" and was a result of the continuing investigation. (I hope that means they're sweating a suspect or that someone snitched on the killer.)
6-year-old Isabel was reported missing in April of 2012 when her father called 911. He said she was last seen at 11 pm the night before, but was missing from her bed at 8 am, and the screen had been taken off her window.
Police interviewed sex offenders, the parents, the uncle/cousin with a criminal record who originally served as the family spokesperson. They've also fielded over 2,000 tips.
RIP Isabel.
