It's possible the dumpsters were searched initially and then searched later to rule out the possibility a body had been hidden and then put in the dumpster after the initial search. And I don't think it's a stretch to think the dumpsters were not searched initially. At what point did police really take this seriously to the point of suspecting foul play?
Some of us here have speculated that JW's early concerns were jumping the gun. Did the police think the same thing or did they immediately suspect foul play? Unless there's something we don't know I'd think that at least to begin with they were more expecting to find a hungover college student who had been in a friend's (perhaps even a new friend's (think "hookup")) apartment. I've not really heard how seriously they took the search that afternoon or in the first few hours.
And you know what else... If someone doesn't ask they might prefer not to mention they didn't check nearby dumpsters or landfills immediately. At what point did they really think they needed to be looking for a body?
I agree with the person who said you'd think any searching of dumpsters or the landfill would be public knowledge just because people would see it and talk. I'd think if the police were searching the landfill soon after her disappearance it would've been the talk of the town even.
