Beckett: “They (investigators) have not been able to arrive at a process by which this excavation could be done.” He details costs and other issues that made the possibility extremely difficult.

Where?

The tip I heard about regarded looking for a green duffel bag at the trash depot north of Champaign Urbana on Lincoln.

@DM2
Beckett explains the immunity agreement in which Christensen’s attorney’s gave information about Zhang’s remains. That agreement means none of the information could be used until after the criminal trial.

The items were taken to a landfill near Danville. By the time federal authorities were made aware of this, YZ's remains would have been compacted twice, and covered by at least 30 feet of fill from garbage hauling

Yingying Zhang

They published her Obituary today.

No mention of Christensen, thankfully.

 

[Gardenista]

I think they said during the PC that some of her family knew about the dumpster, but they just told her mom today.

 

[kittythehare]

Zhang’s father said family members are “miserable” and haven’t decided if they want to stay in the U.S. and continue looking for their daughter’s remains or return to China.

From Christensen’s attorneys:

He placed her bodily remains in three separate garbage bags outside his apartment in Champaign, then placed them in a dumpster outside his apartment building.

On June 12, 2017, he placed her clothes, backpack, cellphone, books and other personal items, along with cleaning materials he had used to try to cover up the murder, into a large duffel bag. He then drove around C-U and placed the items in various dumpsters, then placed the duffel bag itself in a dumpster.
UPDATE: 'He is a heartless and evil person'

 

[kittythehare]

wDF did they not check the dumpsters?
Immediately or even later in the month?
Opening statements or Eades notes referenced searches of dumpsters in various locations.. that park with all the angel statues was one..

WHY? WHY? WHY?
WE received information here that a section of a dumps was cordoned off, that was in July, far as I remember. July '17.
Why did he not put everything in same dumpster, that's if his story is true and I believe nothing he says?

Beckett says the immunity agreement was part of a strategy by the defense team. He calls it an “unusual arrangement.”

Beckett: For the first time this morning, Zhang’s mother learned the details of what happened to Yingying, but it was important to her that she be here for this press conference.

Yingying Zhang's Family Told Her Body Likely In Landfill Near Danville, But 'May Be Impossible' To Recover

Christensen’s attorneys told prosecutors that the day after he killed Zhang, Christensen placed her body in three garbage bags, and put the bags in the dumpster outside his apartment building, Beckett said. Two days later, he put her personal belongings – including her clothes, backpack, cell phone, and books – into a duffel bag, and drove around the Champaign-Urbana area, throwing them in various dumpsters.

She was in dumpster on Saturday?
Two days later=Monday, that was day Michelle saw him leaving with the not overfull dufflebag..

 

[kittythehare]

this- landfills are searched very frequently and whereas there are , of course health and safety concerns, there are also multitudes of health and safety equipment available for this work

Zhidong Wang: The search is not just about the money. Prosecutors discussed factors at play, i.e. environmental issues, health issues. The landfill owners are on board with the possibility of a search.

I listened to the old podcast on Gazette, yesterday.
Something disturbed me about Beckett.
I realised I disliked him intensely.
Today, I dislike him even more.


Beckett: Zhang’s remains could be smaller than the size of a cell phone, according to investigators.
@WCIA


Beckett was one of Elizabeth Pollock's law tutors.
#smallerThanACellphone
A cellphone is an object.
Ying Ying was a person.
Who pays you Mr Beckett?

 

[kittythehare]

meanwhile on Court listeer , a summons has been issued by an unknown to an unknown, buy on pacer
Docket for Deneen v. Miebach, 2:19-cv-02149 - CourtListener.com
(this is the civil case, I have no idea where it's at following trial.)

 

[kittythehare]

On a sentimental note, that gesture by the Zhang family to create a Foundation in her memory, in a foreign country is a massive testimony to Ying Ying, her nature and everything we know about her.
It is what she would have done.
They honored their child's wishes and nature!
Supreme humanity.
I hope that they might be offered a life here, if that is what they would want just for closeness to her final stage of life.
I hope the university honors her intelligence and work in a way that will actually touch her family in a positive way going forward.
My heart is shattered for them and I have a frightening anger welling up inside me too looking at this sham of an investigation, bigger sham of a trial and the greatest sham of all was the sham search.

Why does it seem, in our justice system, that in the majority of cases that the defendant has more rights, privileges, and ways to *advertiser censored** over the victim(s)?
