Im trying to rule out or confirm the possibilities of the bodies being moved if so, how.
The organized offender usually brings his own weapon to the crime scene and avoids leaving evidence behind. He is familiar with police procedures.
The body is often removed from the crime scene. He may do this to "taunt" the police by leaving the corpse in plain public view, or to prevent its discovery by transporting it to a location where it will be well hidden. (Geberth, 1990)

LOGAN: What did you see when you went out there?
CASAREZ: There was not much to see, other than the crime scene tape around the area. The area was still
very pristine. You couldn`t actually tell
that there was any such a violent action.
CASAREZ: You didn`t see any blood? You didn`t see a gruesome scene?
LOGAN: No, nothing. The area was
very, very pristine. There was nothing there to see. I mean, really...

Were the bodies move?
· It appears there were 2 areas marked off with the yellow crime scene tape. 1 on the south side of Deer Creek and the other directly to the north side of the creek where the bodies were found.
· It has been mentioned and stated as in the above CNN transcripts that the area where the bodies were found were very, very pristine
· IMO the initial contact was made and the audio recorded of BGs voice was at the south end of the bridge.
· IMO LE knows for fact where the attacks started/took place based on the audio evidence.
With the information gathered above it is IMO that Abbys and Libbys bodies were moved from the initial murder site (south crime scene) to the north crime scene for reasoning as stated by (Geberth, 1990).
How did their bodies get from the south crime scene to the north crime scene?
· If no sign was found on the south and north creek banks this would easily rule out a crossing.
· If no sign of a cross then there is a theory that a vehicle was used in abducting the girls to another location and then returning the bodies to the north crime scene.
· If anyone crossed the creek LE would have found strong sign (tracks)
· If sign was found this would let LE know how many people, how many trips (bodies were carried) and possibly who. This would aide in the decision if there were more than one murderer.
· The age of the sign would also provide a ballpark idea of what time the crossing took place.
· A key factor with tracking is that LE knows without a doubt which way BG departed the area, either to the north or south of the creek. IMO IF BG departed the north side of the creek there were prominent tracks of him making his way up the very steep bank area toward the north away from the creek flats in very soft soil
· RL stated that the terrain is so rugged that no one would have walked into the area the bodies were found. Coming from the water, its a more flat and open area as seen in several videos.
IMO I feel there were tracks found for a crossing. The rescuers being abreast and on line all the way across the creek area between the 2 marked off crime scenes in such a narrow segment gives me belief there was an abundance of evidence of a creek crossing. Also IMO LE found that BG made at least two trips back and forth across the creek.
