Humans by nature are curious. Which is why we even bother reading the news (like this one), and trying to come up with theories when the facts aren't present. The bottom line is, we want to know the facts. And this is coming from random strangers who have no ties with the people or this event. Now think about what the actual family and friends are going through.
We're talking about different types of closures here...
The closure of knowing the facts and cause of a death is different from the closure of trying to get a settlement, such as suing the Airline. Also, the "closure" of when one begins to accept a friend or family member that died is completely different from closure on finding out how they died.
The Elisa Lam incident was a big mystery for a few months. I'm sure being kidnapped and being involved in human trafficking crossed someone's mind. A whole bunch of other theories must have crossed people's mind, including strange ones (like murdered by a ghost, alien abduction, etc) surrounding the big mystery of her disappearance. I'm sure her family and friends were very unsettled by the whole ordeal. Regardless if nothing would bring her back, the fact when they found her body in a water tank and discovered there was no foul-play involved, must have lifted a lot of weight off the family. At least now they know she isn't being tortured in some third world nation in a cave.
And it's always "easier" to move on and let go when you're 100% sure the person is dead, and not just long-term "missing".
