The grieving parents of 9-year-old Chantel Crump say they are left with more questions than answers after learning that their daughter’s autopsy was inconclusive.

Weeks after the examination was conducted, police informed the Crump family that the pathologist was unable to determine the cause of death.

Despite the significance of the findings, no physical report has yet been handed over to the family, who continue to press authorities for a copy.

The family’s anguish deepened after being told there were no signs of sexual abuse or physical trauma.

The unexplained results have complicated their search for closure, particularly following a chilling confession from Angela Mejia—the woman charged in connection with Chantel’s death—who allegedly claimed she drowned the child.

Although police drained the area described in the initial confession, no evidence was found until the following day when Mahia led investigators to Chantel’s body in Weatherills.

The family’s distress has been compounded by a police request for DNA tests to reconfirm their parental identity. Financial constraints now limit their ability to seek a second autopsy.

As Chantel’s funeral approaches on June 10, her parents are left grappling with the painful reality that, despite a criminal investigation and a suspect’s confession, the official cause of their daughter’s death remains a mystery.
