According to investigators, the woman might have been killed with a gun that the suspect had taken from his father two years prior to the offense.

Investigators assumed that the missing woman might have been killed by a 58-year-old man, who lived with her at the time when she disappeared. It is speculated that the young woman planned to leave the man, which could have possibly served as the motive of the crime.
