LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Human remains discovered in a drainage pipe at a Little Rock park were identified as those of a teenager who was last seen in the area before disappearing two and a half years ago, authorities said Wednesday.
Little Rock Police spokesman Officer Steve Moore said cold-case investigators were following up on Ebby Steppach’s disappearance Tuesday when they found the skeletal remains in an underground drainage pipe at Chalamont Park. The pipe opens near where police found Steppach’s car days after she was reported missing in October 2015 when she was 18.
The Arkansas State Crime Lab concluded Wednesday afternoon that the remains were Steppach’s.
Moore said authorities last searched the park in November 2016 but were following up this week using “gut instinct.”
“We’ve never given up on this,” he said of the disappearance, which is still considered a missing-person case.

Is it just me OR - the pipe was near where her car was found and not searched? Then they go back 2 years later and search it?
