I was thinking more like the ashes may be mixed in the dirt he used. Would they need to search more if they had found evidence of that in the home fire place? Perhaps the fireplace was recently cleaned??
I had this same thought earlier, but couldn’t bring myself to type it. It would eliminate the possibility of someone down the line uncovering a buried body, bones, etc, under the slab (ie, other people doing some of this work). Using the home’s fireplace would not raise a red flag like outdoor burning during a fire ban would. IMO, it would be more difficult to clean a wood chipper. Yikes.
