OREGON CITY, Ore., Aug. 25 — Investigators searching for two missing Oregon teen-age girls said on Sunday they had identified the body of one of them and found a second body on the same property. The FBI said the body found Saturday in a shed behind Ward Weaver’s rented house is the remains of one of the two missing Oregon girls, Miranda Gaddis.

Two things stand out in this article for me:
Weaver knew Ashley, who was a friend of his daughter. She frequently stayed overnight at the Weaver house, went on a trip to California last year with Weaver and his daughter, and even lived at the house for several months last year while her own father was in jail on charges of abusing her.
Ashley had accused Weaver of molesting her the previous summer, but he denied the allegations and was never charged.
This article doesn't say anything more on these two points, but it makes me wonder why she and her friend had to die and the suspect's son's girlfirend had to be raped before something was done about him? (The suspect is currently in jail for the girlfriend's rape.)
CNN (among other news sources) are also making a big deal of the parallels between this case and the case the supect's father is on death row in California for. It wouldn't surprise me to see a "hereditory insanity" defense raised.
