I have not lived here too long and am not real familiar with the area. Do you have an idea off the top of your head how far these places are from Reseda?
Also, I've looked primarily on maps (but some in person) for a place a body could be. There is just not that many out of the way places that I can see. A few parks but most don't have any type of significant vegetation. A few empty lots but the majority are fenced. We are going to stick with the previous plan of looking around parts of the basin. For example, on one road that runs through it is a large golf course on one side. On the other, a line of trees and thick vegetation. Several indicators that there were one or more homeless encampments right there. My next question is about accessibility. Now, if I'm driving around at night wanting to get rid of a body in my car, I just want to get it out of there. Thursday night, Mr. Mistivon and I saw some large vacant lots that looked GREAT for hiding a body. BUT, there was no real simple accessibility. One in particular was on a pretty isolated back road and I thought it looked great. However, when we actually pulled over to check it out a little better, we noticed it was surrounded by a tall fence. Around the OTHER side of the lot, was a small break in the fence, but to get to that, you pretty much had to walk the perimeter of the area. My husband wasn't deterred. He liked the location of the lot and said at 3am, it would be no big deal to park the car on this deserted road (although there were houses visible)then take Mari and walk around to the fence opening, go through it and leave her like in the middle of the field. I, on the other hand, thought it was too much trouble. My thought was He!! no. I just want to get her out of my car before someone gets nosy. While I was initially excited about the field, I could then just see some guy walking around in an empty lot at 3am with "something big" slung over his shoulder. Nope. There were a few areas where the wash runs thru the city I liked, too, until I noticed the same issue. So, we agreed on the basin area. Ideally, I'd want to put her in the forested portion or maybe in the middle of a huge overgrown field, but there's that issue of walking around with her slung over my shoulder. My thought is pull up, open door, push out, shut door, drive away. As fast as possible and as simple as possible, yet with still some work having to be done to locate her. There are areas off of Burbank Blvd and Woodley that I see as having potential. Obviously, she won't be very close to a camp or golf course, etc, because of the fragrance. Which reminds me, does the odor peak and then recede at some point? Or once decomp starts, it stays? I'm thinking I'll pull over near this tree line about 3am, walk to the trunk/passenger door, take her out, step about a yard into the cover of the trees and maybe just lay her right there on the ground under a few leaves. Rolling her down some sort of embankment would be ideal but I didn't see anything like that. While my personal opinion is that she is gone, I am just not sure she is near. I wonder if we will ever find her

Discussed with my husband...
Scenario 1 - Mojave, Angeles Forest, Santa Monica Mountains. Roll off a cliff into a canyon. The Valley is all so well lit and populated and if you are alone you need darkness to dispose of a body by yourself.
Scenario 2 - This one is hard because houses in the Valley are mostly one story, no basement, houses right next to each other, soundproofing a room... we will think about it. Nothing came to mind where you could bury a body nearby to return to it.
We will think on it and maybe others local will also.
