IMO the spot pretty much must have been between the Port and the Pic, not on the southeast slope. That way remains could fall directly downwards and land next to the trail. Of course, they could have been deposited there by animals, but that seems less likely than gravity, snowmelt, or running water. If I were a fox, I'm not sure I'd want to hazard that scree slope or crumbly mountain shelves.
Only possible argument against that is I believe several animal bones were found along with the skull. So unless the animals died in roughly the same spot as Esther, I’m not sure gravity and timing could all get them in the same spot at roughly the same time. But I really have no idea. I live in Spain so would like to visit that area in the spring or early summer, so I am curious to know someday where she ended up, if it’s ever released. It wouldn’t surprise me if Dan finds a way to put a memorial nearby or something in the future anyways, although possibly not in the exact spot due to safety reasons.
