I'm trying to get my head around why police initially said a neighbor heard something and called police, then at trial the issue of hearing something wasn't even mentioned. Was it the sound of someone mudbogging in a field, or just a story? I don't think we'll find out. It could be a different neighbor.
On the matter of the trailer being backed up to the garage door, it's not that unusual, if someone is moving or whatever, to back up to a garage if it's a rear door trailer, to prevent theft. Backing up so close that you hit something gets attention. This trailer had side doors, too, so what good would backing up do? It was done to hide the licence plate. The trailer wasn't overhanging the sidewalk, IIRC.
The story does appear to have been different in 2013 than it is in 2016.
