I agree. He still thinks he has outwitted LE. He is smug because he believes LE will never find her body, which is why I believe he altered her body post-mortem. I have seen too many bodies end up in the dump (2 in a matter of months in just one area) not to strongly suspect it wasn't just clothing and cleaning supplies that ended up at the Hartford dump. Heck, according to LE he even threw the murder weapon away in that garbage. He planned that dump with great thought, just like he did the use of EE's Tacoma. And, of course, we have the normally led-footed speed demon FD steadily driving 60 mph on the return trip to Farmington. Why would he do that unless he wanted to be sure he wasn't pulled over?
What he didn't realize, and does not seem to understand even now, is that the State does not need a body to convict him of murder. While others here believe the State should proceed without MT's assitance, I understand why the State would like to have her as a witness. She is the proverbial nail in his coffin. Can FD be convicted without her testimony? Sure. Would I feel better if she steps forward and actually tells LE the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? You better believe it.(I still believe she should be held accountable for her participation in this crime). As I have previously posted, it is an old prosecutor adage,"If you want to convict the devil, you have to find your witnesses in he**."
