they searched the landfill today... 95000 pounds of trash sorted through by hand
more items sent for testing today
a few items were tagged during search. They do not appear to be related to this search but they were taken as evidence anyway.
Arrrrggghhhhh. LE is not going to sift through all that awful trash unless they have a real lead to do so. I've seen this many times. Just watched Lea Porter's case on Dateline last night in fact....they of course mentioned the landfill searches, this case was local for me and I posted a lot in her case, so much in fact I was disappointed in so many aspects they left out on the show, including that they made the suspect go to the landfill to dig through the trash with them...I wish they would have mentioned that, and how over and over so many LE has gone back to the landfill, which was not mentioned. Then we have Kaitlyn Cargill....sigh...)
Eta: maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they're just being really thorough...I don't know though...
Eta: they were interested in the trash can though.
Gaaaahhhh
:banghead:
This is pathetic. Searching through a landfill.
Eta: We had a toddler found in a landfill here in Colorado a while back. Turns out he was disposed of in Wyoming...they send some of their trash here.
(Eta: re: Lea Porter's case, her brother got the perp to confess on tape, brilliantly lured him to a park with kindness then put the pressure on him, then called 911 to say he had a confession, (the DA said this was a "first time for LE", getting a confession this way)---ironically LE was already was aware something was going down before the 911 call because they had him under surveillance and saw the brother suddenly punch the perp in the face. Furthermore, the perp was a top graduate in Forensics! His professor was actually on the show saying how mortified he was that he likely helped teach this guy how to clean up the crime scene! He went on to say, "you never know who is sitting across from you in the classroom". Lea has not been found to date. Her mom still searches everyday, but goes first to the dumpster every time as a starting point, because she knows that's the last place her daughter was. Also, some of Lea's items were found at the landfill, including a purse her mom had just given her for Christmas. She had all the items dry cleaned and now treasures those as the last thing she has of her daughter.)
