It's on February 19th that they find bones in a burn pile near the old ranch house and scattered around outside. They
00:00:08
collect over a thousand pieces of bone fragments including some teeth. The picture that's getting painted is that
00:00:15
something very bad happened to Sandy here. But there was still a twist yet to come
00:00:21
for investigators. When the pathologist and anthropologist review the biological materials and
00:00:28
bones from the ranch, they conclude without a doubt that some of the remains belong to Sandy Diekman. Yes.
00:00:36
Specifically, it's the teeth that they compare and match to Sandy's dental records.
00:00:41
Here's the twist. Experts [music] say that not all of the remains belong to Sandy. There were at
00:00:47
least two people who were reduced to a pile of ash because some of the bones belonged to a girl between the ages of
00:00:54
five and eight years old. >> Suzy. >> It is everyone's first thought, but they have
00:01:01
nothing as definitive to ID Suzy yet. But if it's her, this is the biggest development Suzy's case has seen in
00:01:10
months and it without a doubt connects Suzy and Sandy's cases. And if Sandy's killer is Suzy's killer, there is one
00:01:19
name that actually appears in both investigations. David Meyerhofer.
