The folks in the CourtTV forums are on top of it and are reporting the following: - "Area today was searched as new information came in from cell phone records. Sounds like not Kelly's phone. That to me indicates they have a suspect but will not release any information. There is evidence at the scene indicating the body is Kelly's however they have not gotten close to the body." - "Body has been there for an extended period of time. Not put there recently." - "It very well could be Kelly's phone, they have not touched or moved her body. They are waiting on a special forensic team to arrive to process the scene.
