How is it that shed antlers still have, as AM stated, skull/flesh on them? Those weren't shed, they were taken off the skull of "roadkill."
Not a good idea to put decaying elk flesh right up next to one's house - anywhere, but especially in cougar territory. The desired effect was achieved, though. A cougar was lured to the house.
One of the more bizarre attempts to support an alibi that I've seen.
Again, I"ll say: why did BM not focus right away on tracking that cougar? Surely there are hunters in the area with sniffer dogs. Why did LE not do the same? Apparently, they saw it (although it's unclear exactly how AM knows that - as the two cars are said to be "police" and he talked to CBI).
