Yes, Ocean. You are correct. I think the perp expected what you describe - body never being found because of decomposition and being eaten by fish, turtles, etc and that's why he dumped here where the lake was sooo deep. He's familiar enough with the lake to know where it's deep. Of course, it's deep right off the Dermond's pier.
I'm sorry about your friend. She committed suicide by drowning? If so, that must be very rare. Maybe not. I have never thought about it. Her lungs would have been filled with water. She would have sunk to the bottom from the weight of the water in her lungs. Mrs. Dermond was dead before she was dumped. Her lungs would not have filled with water. That was determined - Mrs. Dermond was dead before being dumped - no water in the lungs. . . thus, I believe, she did not sink to the bottom. She sunk as far as the weight took her. When the decomposition began. . . well. . . I'll just leave that part out there.
I still hate it there are no leads to help solve the Dermonds' murders. I too still feel it was a lone perpetrator, or at least if anyone was with him, they were a follower, in so much as a a conditioned person to follow someone around for protection, or fear, or some weird version of a faerie tale story, or due to brain damage (thinking of those crimes where a male controls a female, where both are sick, I guess). It is unlikely to me that this crime involved three (or more) equally decisive and controlling personalities.
Anyway, the answer to most crimes is within a matter of miles, maybe less than three in this case. Transient murders are extraordinarily rare, unless of the serial killer variety (not that theory should be completely thrown out). How many weirdos in GA? Probably the same as most states, just need to look at those who live closer to the Dermonds. I don't mean a neighbor of the same economic background with as nice a house. If they came on boat, then look for weirdos in other places along the river.
