Evidence
As the investigation and searches progressed, police came to believe that Whipple had not only abducted his niece, but also murdered her.
A knife missing from the house was found nearby, broken and with blood on it, along with a PVC pipe that had a red handprint that matched Whipple's.
In addition, a "hastily buried" bloodied teal skirt that is thought to be Elizabeth's was also found near a beer can with DNA that matched Whipple's.
Whipple's watch and sweatshirt, both of which also had blood on them, were also located nearby.
