Over the years, officials have considered other possibilities as to the reason of the 1971 disappearance of two teens. One possibility led to the indictment for murder in the girls' deaths of a South Dakota prison inmate in 2007. The inmate named David Lykken was already serving 227 years for rape and kidnapping.
However, the indictment linked to the 1971 disappearance of two teens didn't last long as charges to Lykken were later dropped. According to authorities, a jailhouse informant apparently faked a recorded confession and claimed he was Lykken.
1971 disappearance of two teens case is finally put to a close as officials believe the car to have crashed into Brule Creek about a half mile from the gravel pit. The car used during the 1971 disappearance of two teens was found when someone familiar with the case passed by and saw part of the undercarriage sticking up from the muddy water on the south side of a bridge on 310th Street.
