it might have to do with all the bunglings of laci's case that has made this one less "news worthy" so to speak. What confuses me (to put mildly) is what information could they have gotten from Hacking today that would justify calling off the search (although her parents called off search once). Either he has produced the body or he told them he dissolved her body in the bathtub but if that were the case they would still look for some kind of acidic remnents in the plumbing underground- I can't think of a single thing he could say to call off the search except- here's her body. Period.
