The case went cold after a lengthy investigation, but the Delhi Township Police Department reopened her case on the anniversary of her disappearance last year.
In October, police made a breakthrough in her case when divers recovered her vehicle from the river.
According to Inside Edition, who broke the story of the discovery of Stephanie’s remains, police are now saying they know what happened to her. After testing a fibula bone recovered from the vehicle, the Dearborn County Coroner in Indiana confirmed it is from the 26-year-old mother’s body.
