In Part 2 of my conversation with former federal prosecutor Tad DiBiase, we dig into how investigators distinguish a missing‑persons case from a homicide, why the absence of evidence can be the most powerful clue, and how prosecutors build no‑body murder cases.

We talk through successful prosecutions — including Lloyd Lee Welch in the Lyon sisters case and Sante and Kenneth Kimes in the murder of Irene Silverman — as well as failures like the dismissed case against Michael Turney in the disappearance of his daughter, Alyssa. We also explore what it may take to finally resolve long‑standing no‑body cases, from the Lewis‑Clark Valley disappearances to the cases of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner and Jermain Charlo.
