When I rent cars with my Hertz membership card, they do not check the odometer, they just roll it over. It's faster. No one walks out to the parking lot, sometimes they give me a slip to sign if I see any damage, but the idea is that with unlimited in-state mileage, the car is good to go. They vacuum it and turn it over within minutes.
That's at LAX. DIA is similar.
Just to play the advocate... Maybe the dogs hit on the car but they aren’t confident a jury would convict without a body? Maybe they don’t have enough evidence yet to prove he is deceased by any other method to strengthen the possible dog alert?Where is that quote from? Part 2? Or someplace else?
Given that this plan would have left tons of cadaverine for dogs to sniff and given that the rental car is in LE possession, I think she would have been arrested by now if true. I think that would have been a way bigger break than the video. I also think LE has the coordinates of where that car went, just like all insurance companies can get if they think you misused the car in anyway.
She rents the car around 8 am on Tuesday, so no going "door to door" (let's face it, one would walk to go door to door,
Cadaverine. LE is not lazy and they are not dumb. They impounded that car weeks ago. They had dogs go over it. There would be other forensics (body fluids, DNA, etc, etc) DNA would provide the fastest route to determining whether Gannon had been in that car, then cadaverine sensing would provide the clues as to whether he was dead.
It would have been really stupid to do and LE has to know she did it. If they know she did and there's a reason why they haven't arrested her (for transporting a dead child!) I'd be surprised. It's possible that they are waiting for her to lead them directly to the body.
But if they know she used a particular car to transport his dead body, I think she'd be behind bars. I truly truly do.
It would compromise the entire case, IMO, if they didn't act at that point.
