They are mixing cheap Fentanyl from China with heroin, it’s killing people everywhere.
“All it takes is just three grains like sugar that size to have an overdose,” said Fernandez Rundle. “Fentanyl is 50 to 80 times stronger than heroin so it’s no wonder we have an epidemic of overdoses.”
““Fentanyl comes in from China. It is imported here and there it’s mixed with cheap stuff to make it go longer and so we find a mixture of different drugs,” said Fernandez Rundle.”

The China Connection: How One D.E.A. Agent Cracked a Global Fentanyl Ring
This is horrific. It reminds me of the huge pet food recall the US had about a decade ago which was widespread, contaminating numerous well-known brands and killing numerous peta, that was attributed to contaminated wheat-gluten from China. I don’t buy anything from China if I can help it, period. Moo. It also reminds me of fake knock off makeup where there was actually feces in it. There’s a thread here.
I agree. I hate to be so morbid but the large thick rug in the yard seems like such an obvious choice for coverage, maybe there were other rugs, too. But, if she died somewhere else, maybe they brought her to the property wrapped in something. If someone’s going to move a dead body, some fabric or tarp would make it much easier. There’s even a refrigerator, it looks like they dumped everything in the yard that they didn’t want when they moved out, it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if there was also an old blanket, sheet or tarp left by the previous tenant.

Maybe not related, but that blue storage container is the same type that we’ve seen used here in other cases, Hailey Owens for example, as well as a UID in Apache Junction, AZ, iirc.

ETA: Additionally, from the article above that

“Capt. Milan says when new shipments of the drugs come in, the use and overdoses rises — something they have to be ready to respond to.
“They get purchased again and you see something else happen on the street. Maybe there’s more events going on, more partying and then you see more of the drug,” said Capt. Milan.
To combat this growing epidemic, firefighters and paramedics administer Narcan, an opiate antidote – something Walgreens announced it will start stocking without requiring a prescription in 45 states. It’s something city of Miami fire rescue says may help save lives.
“The key is going to be education, obviously prevention. The key is trying to stop the patient from using it but if they do overdose or they’re in need of it, they can help a family member so that would be good,” said Capt. Milan.
Fernandez Rundle wants all police officers to carry Narcan with them. “This is an inexpensive way to save a life,” said Fernandez Rundle. “It can save a life and an officer’s life.””

Also, good article, (scary), the one about China by NYT- I recommend reading the full article. Here are a few more relevant snippets:
The China Connection: How One D.E.A. Agent Cracked a Global Fentanyl Ring
“For Buemi, the China connection was hardly a surprise.
According to the State Department, China has between 160,000 and 400,000 chemical companies operating legally, illegally or somewhere in between — an expansive estimate that reflects both the vastness of the industry and the scarcity of the information available. Some of these facilities manufacture tons of chemicals every week, or more than a million pills per day. In 2016, the industry made up 3 percent of China’s national economy, with over $100 billion in profits annually. Most of these companies are members of the vast pharmaceutical underclass, pumping out huge quantities of inexpensive generic drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients. It’s a low-cost, low-profit business, but the barriers to entry are minimal, and the market is immense: The basic pharmaceutical ingredients that China produces are needed by more advanced drug companies everywhere in the world — including the United States — for synthesis into more complex and profitable medicines.
The agency responsible for overseeing production of drugs and detecting malfeasance in China is understaffed and overwhelmed: As of 2017, there were around 2,000 inspectors at the agency, and they conducted a total of only 751 inspections that year, a minuscule figure compared with the enormousness of the industry. In the United States, law enforcement and prosecutors have the tools to react quickly to the rise of new copycat drugs that could be used for illicit purposes. Under the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement Act, passed in 1986, any new compound that is “substantially similar” to an already banned, or scheduled, drug can be treated as if it were chemically identical. But chemicals banned in the United States often remain legal in China, where the process for controlling chemicals is slow and cumbersome, especially for substances like fentanyl that exist in the purgatory between legitimate pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs.”
