A simple opinion question to all:
Is the amount of SA's blood found in the RAV4 consistent with the theoretical amount that could be drawn out of a vial without the vial later appearing emptied?
It does seem out of ordinary, yes. If you get BASIC info from a neighboring sheriff's office lead investigator, why would you need to verify, it's been all over the news as well, why would AC doubt plate #and model?
He or others in sheriff's office very likely found out between Oct 31- Nov 3rd that her last known stop was at SA's place. If they we already looking for an opportunity to cut SA down, that would have fell right in their lap. Then all they needed to do was find TH if dead, and see what, if anything could be done. If AC found her car, with her body in the back, it's suddenly a very good opportunity.
It would be good to see AC's phone records, did he call Lenk or someone else right after the call to dispatch? Where did his mobile phone ping off?

More like consistent with an actively bleeding person.
By answering the question this way, you reveal you choose not acknowledge a reasonable observation, that the tiny amount of SA's blood in the RAV4 could be consistent with a logical amount withdrawn from the vial without making it look empty. That vial was stored in a cardboard box case file in the clerk's office, not in an evidence locker.
I choose to acknowledge that the tiny amount of blood could also be from an actively bleeding person, because it could be the truth, and that's what I want to know, yes I can handle SA being guilty. I feel it's more probable that there would be more blood from a bleeding person than the amount that was discovered.
I don't think anyone knows how much blood was put in the vial when Marlene Kraintz took SA's blood. She was on the list of witnesses to testify, but I do believe it was more about the hole in the top of the vial. I would love to have known how much blood was in the tube originally, but I don't think it's documented anywhere.
One more caveat regarding the information above - this was a discussion about taking blood samples for specific medical tests. It might not be applicable to blood samples taken by law enforcement.
