Answers still hard to come by in Emmett girl's death as investigation continues

EMMETT, Idaho (CBS2) On Friday afternoon, there are still many questions, but very few answers about the murder of Taryn Summers, also known as Taryn Quintyn. Her remains were found in a trash bag in Emmett more than a week ago.

On Friday afternoon, there are still many questions, but very few answers about the murder of Taryn Summers, also known as Taryn Quintyn.

Her remains were found in a trash bag in Emmett more than a week ago.

CBS2 continues to ask questions about her death, the grandmother who was caring for her at the time she was killed, and two other children -- missing since last fall.

It's been more than a week since the body of Taryn Summers was discovered in the backseat of a car in Emmett. In that time, CBS2 reached out to the Gem County Sheriff's Office on several occasions looking for answers.

Some on social media are saying that Taryn was in foster care, and speculation is growing about why Connie Smith's murder charge was dropped. This, along with the whereabouts of the two teenagers who went missing in the same area as Taryn last year, are details CBS2 is trying to get from law enforcement.

The Emmett School District declined to speak on camera, although it did tell CBS2 that Taryn was a former student at Shadow Butte, and that she was not enrolled at the time of her death.

Sheriff Donnie Wunder was not in service on Friday, according to Gem County dispatch. He's expected to be back on Monday.
