“That was Tina,” Thelma Favel, the great-aunt who raised her, testified as she sobbed deeply. Favel told court she had given Tina a prepaid phone card, didn’t hear from her and called around trying to find her. Tina weighed just 77 pounds when she disappeared. Her body was weighed down in the river by rocks, which kept it from surfacing for days, Ross said. “Simply put, time and the river washed away any evidence there was on the body or the duvet cover.”
