If he was choked, suffocated, hit in the head (closed head injury) and many other possibilities there would be no evidence at the crime scene unfortunately.

It always is, no matter how much I feel I am prepared for the reality of the worst it always hits me like a ton of bricks!

But even if they find Dylan in the lake, and he has some trauma to the body, MR can still say that Dylan must have gone fishing by himself and was accosted by a transient killer.
Yes, of course, those would be signs of trauma. I'm wondering what would be found AT the crime scene if there's no blood? I'm sure there are things that would be found. Lincoln Rhyme would find them. lol What obvious signs would lead to a crime scene if there is no blood?

what would be found AT the crime scene
traces of a drug..
traces of other bodily fluids (where not expected to be found)
recent dents on furniture, wall, etc
? wonder if they even cursory examined MR for any bruises, scratches -on day 1
:twocents:
But those aren't obvious. I'm honestly not trying to argue (honestly, I'm not.) but IF MR killed Dylan, let's say in the woods or around the lake somewhere before dumping him in the lake, then what kinds of evidence would say a random searcher (like a member of the public) find, if there's no blood?
I'm asking this because as the weather warms, I'm hoping there will be more searches (possibly like the public search last time) and if Dylan really was murdered, then I would hate for evidence to be tainted/contaminated by a good samaritan not realizing they're in the middle of a crime scene.
Gotcha mijamawi, I was thinking things the fbi could get from the home
I'll play. At the lake: If no one else has been there, you might see signs of a foot slipping in the mud, or shoe prints (assumes accident at the lake where Mark got angry and pushed Dylan and he fell in the water-water was so cold, Dylan could not swim to get out, Mark did not jump in to get him or assumes Mark intentionally threw Dylan in the water). You might see signs of a scuffle (broken branches, rocks moved). You might see scratch marks on rock where a fishing pole (if there was one) scraped on the way into the lake. You might find a piece of a fishing pole, line, or reel.Yes, of course, those would be signs of trauma. I'm wondering what would be found AT the crime scene if there's no blood?

Awhile back I speculated that I thought MR might want to keep Dylan close to home, so to speak, where he could have him near. This would make the lake a prime target to search. Also have read that narcissists very frequently think they are the smartest people in the room. That would fit with thinking they have outsmarted law enforcement. My thoughts on the fishing pole are that he may have planted it at the lake to lead LE there to make a quick discovery of Dylan and claim it all an accident. Your thoughts are intriguing! I also think the backpack was used to weight down a body in the lake. It sells the accident theory a bit more and MR still gets to know exactly where everything is. I'm going to think about a pole and a backpack and a phone being discovered out there in the wilderness though....can't rule it out and would welcome the discovery as evidence.

However, if he accidentally killed Dylan in a fit of rage, then I would think there would be some trauma on his body (Dylan's) and then I would wonder why MR would try to lead LE to the lake with the fishing pole story. Also, IF he killed him before putting him in the lake, it will be determined that he did not drown, right?
I have always thought that IF Dylan was found in the lake, the perp expected him to be found right away. The perp may not have realized the cold would keep a body from surfacing right away. They wanted it to look like Dylan fell in and accidentally drowned. This would not really work if Dylan was already deceased, but would work if he were unconscious or thrown in and knocked unconscious or could not get back to the bank. This is a just a thought, not reality.
