Update
At the press conference yesterday evening, Police Chief Jensen said that while the coroner's official confirmation is still pending, he is confident that 'police have found Lizzy'. He said that investigators have not established a motive for the crime.
Jensen also noted that Whipple had offered the information in exchange for prosecutors taking the death penalty “off the table." So fucking predictable.
Jill Parker, a spokeswoman for the family, held back tears as she read a letter from Jessica Whipple, Lizzy’s mother, at the news conference.
“There are not words to express the sadness and the heartbreak we feel today," she read. "This did not end the way we wanted it to, but in this sadness we are comforted that so many people put forth so much effort to help us find Lizzy. You made the difference and we are so very grateful.”
The girl’s grandfather said Jessica Whipple didn’t see her younger brother often but decided to help him when he asked her to pick him up.
Gramps said Alex Whipple had a difficult childhood but had never showed violent tendencies. Well, Gramps obviously did not know or chose not to acknowledge his son's record of violent crimes.
