That looks like it's made out of sheet metal.
It doesn't even really look like a "tool box" that you'd put in the bed of your truck.
It's longer, as long as the bed of the truck not as wide as the bed of the truck.
I think it's 5 feet, pretty sure that's a short bed truck.
Though it did have hinges and handles on it, so maybe it was an actual tool box.
Just haven't seen anything like that before...
Would think a coffin shaped sheet metal box would have stood out immediately during a search and warranted a further search warrant!
No, it's not just you. I don't understand either. I mean you wouldn't THINK anyone would be that stupid.... but you would still check because it looks like a coffin!
I don't think the circumference of a well would allow that, but it's possible. There also doesn't appear to be any dents or even scuff marks in the steel at all.
However I think it would have taken LE longer to recover if it had been thrown down a well. This was FAST, under an hour - I believe 45 minutes from "the search has started" to "loaded into truck".
They went in, went to it and brought it out. They knew what they were looking for and exactly where it was.
It's like she was just laying in the garage. It's unreal and unnerving and unsettling and just WRONG.
They weren't there long enough for her to have been buried and that steel was shiny, not dirty.
They would have transported her in a regular body bag. But we wouldn't have seen it because they would have loaded her into the coroner's vehicle out of sight. Because she's in another container they aren't going to disturb evidence to move her out of it.
Then again, they aren't wearing gloves, maybe they dusted for prints first. It's two male cops and a female loading it. Definitely sheet metal, it's not that heavy, they aren't struggling with it. Not sure if she is an officer or a searcher or what...
So is the property his property, or another suspects property?
Im catching up from midnight last night and perhaps this has been mentioned already... The metal box might be storing the box in which the remains were found. In other words, a box within a box for transporting so that the original box was safely secured and all soil particles on and around the box were secured. MOO
