Could it take 5 months to work out a plea? Maybe in this type of a case it could' maybe he has to outline all of his crimes, if there are others outstanding and his lawyer is fighting that? That might explain why the hearings was pushed back to such a late date, it is my understanding that these types of plea deals can take a long time to work out. Also, a plea bargain could possibly supress some of the evidence that Escondido probably does not want out there, i.e. how they viewed Amber as a runaway for three weeks, etc...if no trial, this stuff would not be center stage, they could wrap it up with a bow. I am sure they do not want too much focus on the fact that perhaps JAG could have been captured within past year if they had really gone after the case from day one and therefore he would not have been free to kill Chelsea. So LE would benefit from a plea. As to finding her body (Amber's)-I agree that they foudn something that told them where to go could be feasible; he may have made a little drawing with an X or something, they all tend to do weird things to remember their crimes. And they may have dug longer than we know...
