If RL drove to the transfer station before 1pm on the 13th i do not think they would have cared to search his truck. He probably did go there at a time that could be suspicious. But why did it take them so long, weeks, to get a search warrant for the truck and house? Maybe his driving to the transfer station at a suspicious time was not enough probable cause?? Possibly testing from items taken at the transfer station came back with dna that matched RL or dog hairs from a dog similar to his?? And then they had enough probable cause?
