I wouldn't think garbage bags would be that protective. I've put my garbage in four garbage bags and cats still get in the garbage at times. Also liquid leaks out of multiple garbage bags. I'm thinking she was moved from somewhere that was keeping her very cold. If she was there since Jan 4th, I see no way the odor would not have been detected. Also how do you search and even if lumber was on top of this grave, not find her and see the bags sticking out of the ground. Can't believe she was there when they searched or for over six months. It's impossible for me to believe this would be the case.
When?Does DS live with his parents or in a separate residence?
I think that he was living in a small rental place when SS went missing and then he moved back to his parents' place. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong!Does DS live with his parents or in a separate residence?
I sure hope they are able to determine a conclusive cause of death

LE should be held responsible too for faults. Detectives didnt spot the blood in the closet in their prior search.
It's kind of a big deal to look over things like this all while a body was in the backyard. We are talking paid professionals here.
It is odd how they missed it I agree. I see it as they weren't doing a thorough search but would have if the body was found.
As far as I gather, the group went to Sparkes rental, Savannah went in (seen on cctv I believe) but she wasn't seen coming out. That happened later. He kept her body at his rental.
After the search or second I should say, at his parents place, Sparkes decided to give up his rental and move back home with his parents. This was February/ March time. His brother helped him move. So, it would be at that time that Savannah was buried on the parents property. LE had done a search , found nothing at all so Sparkes thought body would be safe.
The smell wasn't apparent for some time after due to her body wrapped in garbage bags and a rug.
I also don't think she was out in the back yard. There's a photo somewhere on here showing LE entering the garage then opening a white inner door. Seems she was inside in the container we saw.
Hope this helps you a little.
That’s how crimes are solved.
Witnesses cooperate; someone reports something suspicious.
In a lot of cases, it’s a team effort.

We haven’t heard specifics, but the arrest warrant referred to items “last known to be in the control” of SS and Sparks. That sounds like her purse and clothes? I wondered why they phrased it that way, but perhaps because they believe the other two when they said they left, and she was at the house alone with Sparks?
So was she killed within hours of the FaceTime call to her mom??David Sparks, 23, was charged with abuse of a corpse and evidence tampering after Spurlock’s body was discovered just before midnight Wednesday on his parents’ property on Fall Lick Road, according to police and court records. Sparks was living with his parents by the time she was found, Chavies said.
[...]
Sparks’ father had his attorney contact police after he smelled something on the property, Chavies said during Monday’s hearing in Garrard County.
Police had searched the Fall Lick Road property at least once previously, state police said Thursday.
Spurlock’s body was buried in a grave that was 19 inches deep at its deepest point, Chavies testified Monday.
[...]
Sparks had previously told police that Spurlock went with him and two other men to his home at the time on Price Court in Lancaster in the early morning hours of Jan. 4, Chavies testified. Sparks said that the other two men left the home and Spurlock slept in Sparks’ bed while he slept on the couch, Chavies said.
[...]
During one of the early searches of Sparks’ home on Price Court on Jan. 10, detectives found a gray rug similar in dimension and color to the one that was found with Spurlock’s body.
[...]
During an April 2 search of the Price Court house, investigators found a bloodstain consistent with Spurlock’s DNA just inside the door of the bedroom closet, Chavies said. The blood was not visible and had to be found using a latent blood reagent, Chavies testified. Detectives did not see it during their first search of the Price Court home.
[...]
Chavies testified that Sparks had visited his parents’ home on Fall Lick Road — where Spurlock’s remains were eventually found — on the evening of Jan. 4 for about two hours. That was less than a day after Spurlock was last seen. Sparks returned to the Fall Lick Road in the early morning hours of Jan. 5.

I believe SS body was at the Fall Lick Road residence within hours of her death.
I believe DS probably prepared the burial or concealment area on Jan 4, and deposited SS in the ground during the early morning hours of Jan 5.
