Thank you, good post
My issue with him being consumed by an animal of any kind is that I think there would be some bodily fluids/debris that was left behind that the dogs and cops would have found, not to mention some bit of clothing or boot/boots somewhere and there is just nada zip zilch of this kid to be found. I understand that there was a baby ate by a dingo but iirc that was an infant in a onsie or not much clothing, I dont think the dingo would have ate the boots, would it?
The likiehood of finding a tiny child's little boots that are camoflage is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I imagine that if Deorr was taken by an animal, he would've been carried far from the site, back closer to a den of some sort, as happened with Azaria Chamberlain who was never found. Azaria'smclothing was found far from the campsite.
But aboriginal trackers had something to track and tracked the dingo to its lair where they found the clothing weeks later. Here, no signs of blood and no one seems to be able to track Deorr effectively.
Btw, ashes would only seem to confuse a cadaver dog, right? How many regular tracking dogs were used and how effective are those dogs known to be? I know in the case of two year old Emmett Trapp, I believe it was a private citizen who finally found his tracks and body, outside the search area. He had wandered for miles in the desert and no one thought he would've been able to get that far so he was outside the searched perimeter.
Then in the case of little Gage Wayment, none of the professional trackers found him. A private citizen did, with a dog. His dog found Gage covered in snow by a tree.
Caylee Anthony was found less than a mile from her home, by a utilities guy peeing off the road. Professional trackers, LE, all had heavily searched the area and never found her.
The wilderness is dense and vast. I don't know if his body or clothing will ever be found.
