Wondering if anyone might know- given JM's job at the hospital, is it possible he could've accessed a decomposition accelerant from the hospital? It just seems highly unlikely there would be that much decomposition in only 35 days, it doesn't make sense. Unless he tried to burn her body but I would think that the sergeant who found her would've mentioned that and the pants wouldn't have been intact. JMO!
A lot of it doesn't make sense. I read several articles about vultures. They have such a keen sense of smell that they hone in on the dead body within 12-14 hours after the animal (which is what they used) has died.
But I couldn't find anything that stated they are known to take away all the hair. Researchers aren't even sure where or how they roost. They are very reclusive when roosting.
Plus this was not nesting season so there was no need to remove hair to make nests. And it is highly likely even if they do take the hair sometimes they would take every strand.
And what is even more puzzling is the man said he saw vultures/buzzards circling on October 6th and didn't he say he smelled a foul odor?
And then we have the neighbors who said they shut their windows because of a foul odor and this was right before she was found.
While I have seen many carcasses in the road that simply disappear overtime that is due to the buzzards attacking the body but they leave the bones and fur/hair of the animal behind. It erodes away in time and disappears due to traffic going by and running over the flatten carcass shell and it gets caught up in the tires of many drivers' vehicles until it is no longer visible.
So a lot about this doesn't make sense. Especially the lack of any hair on the skull in just 35 days.
It does make me wonder if she was burned before being placed there since no flesh at all or hair was found at the site according to the officer who got a good look at the remains. He himself is puzzled. If vulture attacks happen often in that area to bodies found above ground leaving most bodies skeletonized due to buzzard activity I don't think he would have been as alarmed as he seems to be.
