I have to sign off, just throwing my 2 cents in and not directed at anyone.
LE has a reason to search that landfill IMHO.
They got info from somewhere or they deducted that they needed to search it. JMHO.
They wouldn't just search the entire landfill by hand and with dogs. It is usually done in grids. Those grids would be mapped out with the dump managment company so that the grid would encompass refuse orginating from a certain and specific area(s).JMHO.
If the dogs are indeed alerting on the scent of human remains it is too coincidental to me JMHO.
They may not even be focusing their search on human remains at this time. We dont' know what exactly they are searching for, or where what they are searching for originated from...JMHO.
I do wonder if LE got crediable info to take them out to search the landfill? JMHO.
Also, whatever they are looking for~ if they don't locate it (or her) doesn't mean it's (or she) isn't there. Nursie brought up a good example another is the Zahra case where the mattress wasn't located during the search because it was located outside of a grid.
All JMHO.
Whew, you guys are moving so fast it's hard to keep up! Been reading along as I have time in the evenings. I've enjoyed reading all your opinions, what a smart and diverse group of sleuthers. If only LE could harness the collective brain power here!
ITA Kat, I think LE has a reason to search the landfill that is not just to exclude the possibility something may have ended up there. I've been in the Solid Waste Industry for many years. Not in collection, but Landfills and Transfer Stations.
One thing I wanted to point out; The grid search method is only going to be as good as the data supplied. What I mean is, most landfills keep some sort of records on daily fill sequences. For instance we record fill elevation coordinates daily (GPS) in our manager's log. If our site were approached and we were asked where waste was placed on a specific day, we could easily do that based on our records. However, not all facilities record that info on a daily basis. Kind of what Kat was talking about in the Zahra case, the mattress was not in the *grid*.
The machine at the landfill which is excavating the waste is not a backhoe, but an excavator. If they utilize a dog and that particular piece of equipment they should be able to make quick progress.
God bless Hailey, I am just heartsick. So many adults failed her ...
