Just to give an idea how different landfills can be, ours will even let you bring pets there, or livestock that has died. I know a lady that couldn't afford to have her horse buried, and it cost her $15 at the landfill, because you're allowed so many pounds free, and after you have to pay so much. I'm rural, naturally, but I don't think we actually know how the landfill would work in that area. Plus, not even sure if it was within city limits, or a county dumpster, or even if a dumpster was used at all.
And the way a landfill works, all the ingredients are there for a very fast decomposition of all matter, from wood, leaves, cereal boxes, etc., to animals. The trash is basically buried, and then after so many days, weeks, whatever schedule that area is bulldozered off flat, and new piles are brought in. Continously cycle. As for odors....there is no comparison, IMO. I mean, I live on a farm, you have odors from that, been to many livestock auctions, and you have odors there, even lived near a papermill before that had a very sulfuric fart smell most of the time! Ever put a piece of fresh meat in the fridge, like chicken, and life happened and it got forgotten? Nasty odor! Or opening an egg that was rotten? Maybe even out on a hot summer day with the windows open, and there's a road kill, eekk odor. But at the landfill, it's like combining all those odors, and IMO is overwhelming to my senses. Without a specific reason, or area to search, I don't see LE even attempting it.
Especially 5 months later! I don't think they would have a snowball chance in he!! in finding anything relevant. IMO!
If phone pings, or cameras haven't revealed a location to even start a search, even on land, sadly it seems the only way Christina will be found will be by chance. As with many cases here, someone out hiking, out hunting, walking their dog, etc., 'if' she's out in the elements somewhere. If hidden in something? Who knows!
As with Alexis Murphy in VA...her murderer has been tried and convicted, but her whereabouts are still unknown! Unless the murderer decides to speak, I don't know if she'll be found.
She wasn't found in the massive search for another girl, Hannah Graham, that went missing after Alexis did, and lots of territory was covered in both searches which included drones, FBI, etc.
I can't imagine how heartbreaking this would be for a parent. I truly cannot even begin to comprehend the feelings involved.
