Not reporting her missing for a month should be enough by itself to convict on some kind of neglect charge.

Who knows what the objective truth of the situation really was, but if a random jury found her not guilty, obviously the evidence for outright murder wasn't strong enough. Most likely it was a stupid accident followed by an even stupider coverup.
