It seems to me that the discovery of remains are generally reported on the same day. So if 5 days later, how did the reporter even find out about them at that point? Obviously LE wasn't in a hurry to let the public know, why let them know on day 5? Why not wait until they can say who they belong to, what sex they are, how long they've been there, etc., rather than to just say they're looking into the circumstances surrounding the remains being there, and how they got there, type of deal?
Good post! Adding to it, why several days between the remains being found and the reporting of them being found? Remains being found seem to be generally be reported the same day.
