They Found MORE at the Ranch... #truecrimeshorts #truecrimeinvestigation #podcast #crimejunkies | Forensic Files

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

While searching an abandoned Montana ranch connected to the disappearance of 19-year-old Sandy Dykman, investigators discovered a burn pile containing more than 1,000 bone fragments and teeth.

Experts were able to match some of the recovered teeth to Sandy's dental records, confirming that at least some of the remains belonged to her. But there was another shocking discovery. Investigators determined that not all of the remains came from Sandy.
