To answer that question, investigators would need to start building their timeline of her last known whereabouts on the day she disappeared.
According to her cell phone data, Milana had left home in the early evening of Sunday, May 8th, while her mom was still at work. She and her phone then headed in the direction of a local outdoor shopping center where investigators hoped they could track down a witness that maybe would have spotted her there.
So who was with her in those hours before her death? Was it a friend, a killer, or both?
As news spread of the tragedy, friends and strangers alike contributed to a growing memorial of flowers, stuffed animals and candles on the sidewalk adjacent to the park where Milana's body was found.
Investigators' first lead came courtesy of Milana's cell phone location data, which led them to a shopping center not far from her home. And it was there that a young employee at a yogurt shop told police that she had seen Milana on the night police believed she was killed, and she wasn't alone.
The very same wooded area in Westside Linear Park where Milana's body was found.
which was also surprising because how would they have crossed paths? Daniel Gore had supposedly left school and was said to be living in a tent in the woods. While Milana was a middle schooler, living at home, new to the area, when investigators asked Milana's mom about her daughter's friendship with Daniel Gore, she said that she'd never heard of him.
Milana's mother had prided herself in meeting all of her daughter's friends, so it was a shock for her to learn that Milana had been hanging out with this older boy.
But there was nothing on his record indicating sexual assault or extreme violence.
When asked why he fled from police, Gore explained that he was on probation and was concerned he was going to be arrested or returned to his family. But he showed no signs that he knew the real reason he was being questioned by police.
If Gore suspected that the interview had to do with Milana, he wasn't showing it. But as we've always said, a goal in any interview is to keep the subject talking. So investigators moved slowly and deliberately, building rapport as they zeroed in on his timeline for the days leading up to Milana's murder.
So Gore admitted that he knew the 13-year-old, but he denied that there was any romantic relationship between them.
Let's just pause for a second here to note that it's of course not unheard of for teenagers to experiment with alcohol. So we won't even get into where they may have gotten it or that larger discussion about minors and drinking. But we should remember that Milana was only 13 and she was physically small in stature. So any amount of alcohol may well have affected her.
Daniel claimed this was the last time he saw Milana, walking in the rain back towards the shopping center. He also claimed that the next day he even texted her, but she never responded.
Still, he admitted being with Milana on the day of her murder, even to being the last one to see her alive.
And that's exactly what they did. And as they looked for ways to corroborate his story, investigators uncovered a single inconsistency, but one that would turn the entire case upside down.
Despite their suspicions, investigators didn't have direct evidence that Gore was anything more than a friend who had been with Milana on the same day she was believed to have been attacked and killed.
As we have seen before, malls and shopping centers are often full of security cameras, so police can often follow someone's every move, and that was the case here. After leaving the yogurt shop, Milana and Daniel could be seen walking to the bus stop and boarding a bus, just as Gore had told police.
It was about 7.45 p.m. on the night Milana disappeared. But while the cameras lost sight of them, their cell phones offered some chilling details of what happened next. Milana's phone suddenly turned off while Daniels indicated he proceeded into the woods towards his makeshift campsite.
And she was the teenage employee at the yogurt shop.
