And finally, the retired FBI profiler in the 'Real Crime Profile' podcast, that I linked above, provided a very plausible explanation regarding why the cremains were found in multiple locations, as well as why there was no smell of burning flesh, etcetera. These, by the way, were the biggest problems that I, personally, had with the case. Especially the cremains found at the Radnant quarry. However, if, as this man suggests, her remains were not completely destroyed, I could see him putting those in the burn barrel, as well as trying to empty the barrel in the quarry. It would also go a long way to explain why one of the cadaver dogs hit on the golf cart (i.e., he used the cart to carry the barrel to the quarry).

Thought I would bring it over here to discuss since it's about framing/planting ;-)
The FBI guy seems to also believe that the key was possibly planted. The 3rd search of a small area and it appears. The fact that the shelf was obviously not moved (because of the stuff on top/in it) Basically what a lot of us have all been saying about the key.
The bullet... TH's DNA, the fact that the lab deviated from protocol was just wrong. He also discusses the spatter/blood, or lack of in the garage. He doesn't believe she was killed in the garage.
The RAV4 ... he acknowledges that the circumstances were strange. The Colborn call... sounded like he was in the front of the vehicle and needs to be explained, but on the stand, he could not explain it. They also found Pam finding the vehicle and the call as "strange" and how the branches, etc. made it stand out, not hide it. The blood in the RAV4.... he thinks the blood vial... and the break in the chain of custody (scotch taped box), should have invalidated all the blood evidence. He also thinks any good lawyer would have had it thrown out. Sounds like he is sceptical of the EDTA testing too.
bones - hours and hours of burning with lots of fuel (gas, tires, etc) When the big fire went out, they (or he) put the remaining bones (or larger one's I think?) in the burn barrel, poured gas over it and tried to burn the rest of it. And then maybe after that, it was taken to the gravel pit, it was dumped there. That is his best theory. They talk about the lack of it being investigated properly.
They do have some of their facts wrong, but the basics, from the documentary are there. And this was posted 26 days ago.... so I doubt they have reviewed some of the documents at that point.
The one thing with the bones is.... Dr. Eisenberg testified that all the bones from all 3 locations had the same consistency of burning/charring. I also think the FBI guy is unaware of how many or which bones were found where. So although, it sounds like it could be a possibility... it doesn't make sense since the burning to the bones in the barrel/pit/quarry were all consistent in charring, etc. The bones weren't "dumped" at the quarry... they found 2 pelvic bones there. The bones in the barrel were from all over the body, not pieces of one or two bones.
It's an interesting listen, considering my take is, they think he is guilty, but they were still able to say well uhmmm yeah, the key is fishy LOL Colborn's call is fishy.... the Rav4 was found under odd circumstances.... the blood vial sitting in a box with scotch tape causes issues.
I see episode 3 is the BD confessions... might have to listen to that one tomorrow ;-)
