Why is the gov't using thousands upon thousands of tax dollars to find a girl who has been dead for 13 years? What difference will it make? The sheriff's office is looking for a simple tooth, because Kiplyn's bones would have decayed long ago. The whole situation is tragic but I think its time to face reality. Richard Davis is a good man and my heart goes out to him and his wife, but I believe this search to be a misappropriation of tax funds.

Bones do not necessarily decay in 13 years. Much depends upon the type of soil the body is buried in...and depth it is buried, and whether animals have scattered the bones.

Utah is mostly arid desert. Bones can last much longer than 13 years in that climate.

I would rather that tax dollars go toward apprehending murderers, prosecuting them, and executing them.

However...we're talking about a case in which there is no body.

I hope that this girl's remains are found...not only for the benefit of her loved ones and friends, for the closure it will bring...and the comfort of laying her remains properly to rest...but for the evidence they will surely provide in the case against her murderer.

I have a niece who is missing. She lives in Las Vegas, and worked as a dancer. She is the mother of three daughters. She went missing about 6 weeks ago now.

This woman loves her children dearly. They are everything to her. She has sacrificed much to provide for them.

But it is possible that she had fallen in with the wrong crowd...and she disappeared.

I know for a fact that she wouldn't abandon those girls. In all probability...she lies in a shallow grave somewhere in that vast desert waste-land.

Should tax dollars be 'wasted' to find her? I'd rather see thousands of tax dollars spent searching for missing human beings...then to spend thousands of tax dollars on planting trees down the middle of a street, or on ugly 'urban art'.

Jaye, I'm very sorry to hear about your niece. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.

Prayers are all we have at this point. Thank you.

The police have informed us that they get around 200 or more missing persons cases per year.

And...as they so succinctly put it...there is no law against being missing.

There are no leads. And apparently...nobody down there cares too much that one more dancer has disappeared.

The father of one of her daughters took his girl, and my wife's brother took the other two. He spent a couple of weeks nosing around...but no leads. Nobody saw her hanging out with anyone, or leaving with anyone. She left work one night...and was never seen again.

All I can see is the little 8 year old freckle-faced kid she was when we got married.

I have a question Jaye. Was it in the papers???? Not seen anything that I can remember. Would be great if you had a picture to pass around this area. The Las Vegas police have so much going on they just pick and choose their cases.......which is very sad for families as yours.

I don't believe it ever made the papers. It usually doesn't when a 'dancer' disappears.

I spent quite a while searching through the local papers. I read quite a few very sad tales of missing daughters AND sons. I believe that a city like Las Vegas has a tendency to swallow people whole sometimes.

I'll see if I can dig up a recent picture from the family.
