Agree I think they just came upon it during the search. I think they are going to pile on every little charge they can think of. Is that a good strategy? Maybe.
That is a very good question.
I think processing can take variable amounts of time, depending on the factors involved. For example, if knives used in a murder or for tampering with remains were scrubbed with bleach but a minuscule bit of blood or other organic matter remained (say where the blade meets the handle or in some crevice in the handle), and that sample is quite small, amplification of the sample may have to occur prior to DNA extraction to check for a match. I have no idea how long that would take.
Your observations make perfect sense. I also think LE had “proof” SM was dead when they charged him with Murder One. And there’s possible blood evidence from the home, cadaverine hits from the dogs LE used. I’m not sure what evidence LE had of her death prior to his arrest, but I think it’s compelling.
That has not been revealed yet.
Thank you for mentioning this. I had brought this up early on but it just kind of got fizzled out, but I do still think this is a very likely possibility. IMO, he seems the type who likely hid lots of things from his wife. Again, this is JMO.
Yes they can. Last year Letecia Stauch was arrested for the murder of her 11 year old stepson here in Colorado on March 2, 2020. GS’s body was not found until March 17, 2020. Because they had found blood in the home and blood matching his DNA on a board found 20 miles away according to the AA dated February 28, 2020. She was charged with tampering with a human body and tampering with physical evidence just as we see here. 2 weeks before body was found.
Or material remains that mean she cannot be alive.
