Authorities are receiving calls from members of the community asking why no case has been filed yet, Variety learned.
Department of Public Safety Commissioner Ramon C. Mafnas and Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent Tom Simon said authorities must establish probable cause through evidence before a case is filed in court.
Mafnas said they are balancing due process with establishing probable cause. “We need material facts that can be corroborated,” he added.
Simon said law enforcement focus continues to be on locating the victims, witnesses and evidence that will solve this case.
The total reward money for any information leading to the recovery of the sisters or prosecution of person or persons behind their disappearance is $50,000.
