Yes , I think the incinerator was used somewhere else and then parked here afterwards (I beleive this pic was taken after DM was arrested)
It certainly had been moved very recently , look at the disturbed leaves and fresh dirt under the hitch ..... to unhook the unit , a person has to stand in that spot to crank the jack and raise the hitch from the truck .... it takes a few minutes .... once that was done the electrical cord would be unplugged from the generator in the back of the truck .... of course that is presuming a generator was used , and presuming it was carried in the back of the truck .... it sure looks like it to me anyway ..... and would also mean the incinerator was left hooked to truck while in use .
The barrels are a dead issue , LE even confirmed it ........ but because they were brought out of the barn and seen on TV is the only reason everybody is so obsessed with them ..... what nobody sees is all the other items carefully checked inside the barn.
And if a burning barrel was used for LB or TB it would have had the steel top cut away , vent holes punched in the bottom , be all black and rusty , and it would take days and days of constant firing .... and the fuel would have to be something like wood ..... you cannot keep adding petroleum fuels to a fire , the flashback will burn the murderer more than burn the victim
A picture below to show the jack and disturbed earth where the operator stood to do the cranking
Notice also the electrical cord runs under the hitch and is fastened to the trailer with tarp straps .... shows clearly on my computer .... I have a high-def picture which does not reproduce quite as good here.
Good eyes Arnie. :tyou: Yes I agree the barrels are a dead issue now because those specific ones held no evidence related to LB or TB according to TPS. BUT if the perps used a barrel or two, (which DM obviously had many to chose from) they may have been found back in the bush or had been disposed of somewhere. Many farms and/or country people use metal barrels to burn stuff in and
if DM had a couple on his property in full view, I don't think anyone would think anything nefarious of them prior to TB's murder. As you said, they need to be vented with holes and could that be where the perps went wrong with a complete burn? Depending how and what type of fuel the perps fueled the fire could cause flashback absolutely. And I mentioned way, way back also, I wondered if the perps ended up with scorched head or body hair. That may have been a potential clue in itself to show involvement. Did anyone who came into contact with DM or MS noticed scorched hairs? Maybe...
Arnie not sure if you've read my post #160 and listened to the interview video. At approximately 16:30 it's mentioned about TB being burned in a "barrel". LE have not confirmed it nor have the confirmed the incinerator was used. My bold part in post #160 IMO says a lot. To me it says LE did not find TB's body in the incinerator therefore they are
not sure if it was used for TB.
Again regarding what was remaining of TB. There are articles out there which specify "body". I have posted many posts with information and MOO as to why I feel strongly there were more than ashes, teeth, larger bones, maybe his wallet, jewelry ect. The body was sent to Forensics to determine cause of death. How could cause of death be determined with a pile of ashes, teeth and bones? Not to mention ID was made the follow day of TB's remains. To me that is too quick to have run DNA tests on bone or teeth. One case I was following was Hailey Dunn's of Texas case and her bones and teeth were found. It took
months for tests to come back. HTH. Also it is JMO cremation had to have taken place after Forensics/coroner were finished their examination looking for cause of death and whatever else his body could tell them. Cremation has to be scheduled ONLY after forensics is done with the remains. I highly doubt SB would want to bury her husband's remains in the horrific state the murderers left him in. Her statement about being handed a small box; because she had what was left of TB cremated. JMO.
As someone mentioned way, way back, and I agree, I am certain LE wouldn't positively ID someone's remains merely based on what they were wearing. They would want to be absolutely IDing the victim. How horrible it would be for LE to report something like this to a family without being absolute certain of a person's identity. Example; what if the perps stripped TB of his belongings and burnt them, but they were holding him hostage somewhere still alive kwim?
What I now wonder is, if TB was burnt in a barrel and they also took the barrel in for testing, where they testing it for LB's DNA also but no DNA of hers was found? Did TPS examine HPS crime reports and noticed HPS noted
barrels in the barn listed? Is this what lead TPS to search the barn, looking for burnt barrels or wanting to examine what was contained within the barrels? Upon examining the barrels TPS found chemicals, knowing some criminals do immerse their victims in chemicals to dispose of them, was that something they took into consideration and needed to investigate? As it turned out, the barrels are nil and void in their investigation but the search did turn up clues to assist them in their investigation so they claimed. :moo:
A spokesperson for the coroner’s office said Bosma’s body had not been released as of Tuesday afternoon. The remains will likely be absent at a funeral the family has scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
