It has been of
great interest to me, because first, I wanted to visually wrap my head around SS saying it wasn't possible for SD's body to have been 'dumped' by any other means than boat, based on the location where she was found, because that location was not accessible by land; and further, SS said that where she was discovered, could not have been very far from where she was 'dumped' - which he reportedly backed up with professional opinions of experts in that field in regard to this particular water body.
Secondly, SS's statements regarding where she was discovered seemed contradictory many times, such as 'she was found in the deepest part of the lake', or she was found in 60', or 50', or 47' of water (he changed it often), but yet she was also caught on tree branches, which likely aren't located in the deepest parts; and then also taking into consideration that she was found not on the Putnam County side of the waterway; and then what the fisherman said during his 911 phonecall when he discovered what he believed to be a body - it also didn't seem to jive with what SS was saying about the deepest part, etc. It all should have meshed into one location, but it wasn't seeming to do that (imho).
I find it a pertinent piece of info to know, because it is a huge thing if that body HAD to have been dropped in the lake by boat. To me, that substantially narrows down the list of possibilities as to who the murderer(s) could have been.
Surely someone inexperienced in that particular lake (due to its shallow vs deep areas, rock areas, and trees sticking out of the water all over the place), and/or someone inexperienced with operating a boat at all, would NOT have chosen a spot in *that* lake, which could *only* be accessed by boat. The person(s) would have risked his/their motor getting severely damaged, and possibly the boat too (which could have potentially helped to get him/them caught if they came home with boat damages(?), and considering the lengths he/they went to, to hide evidence of him/themselves, it wouldn't make sense). And an inexperienced boat operator may have found him/herself in a lot of trouble if something had happened with the boat due to their inexperience - and can you imagine lugging a dead body in the middle of the night and having to call for help??

But yet SS also believes the murderer is NOT a local.. so how (and when) did the murderer(s) become familiar enough with *this* lake full of obstacles and points and juts and rocks and fingers and TREES, enough to risk driving a dead body some 5-6 miles from the D home, likely in the dark, and keeping in mind how sound very much travels on/near the water?
