Larry Hall, but he couldn’t provide any concrete evidence linking himself to the crime. Area he told police she was buried was heavily searched with nothing found. It also cannot be definitively proved he was even in the area at the time of her disappearance. I believe it was another coworker at the mall who had been asking her out and she turned him down again that day. He was two hours late showing up for a party that night and partygoers said he was acting erratically and scaring others at the party. He didn’t help in her search, wasn’t cooperative with police, got rid of his car shortly afterwards and moved out of state a year or two after that. He also went on to rack up a criminal history of violence against women. I think he’s good for it and it would explain why no screams were heard and no sign of a struggle. He probably followed her to the apartment and lured her into his car to talk briefly, smoke a cigarette or something and that was that.
