Not to be arguementative, but I think that a person would have had plenty of time to conceal a body and move it from place to place thruout the weekend. No police report at all until he had been missing over 7 hours, and even then, it wasn't properly or immediately investigated. It was Monday before detectives got the case, according to the reports we've had posted here so far.
If you ever want to get away with a crime, do it on Christmas Eve in Houston...and that's coming from me, a police chief's wife! I am very pro- law enforcement but carelessness such as this is unacceptable! I can guarantee you, if this happened in our city in the middle of the night on any holiday, someone would be on call to handle it properly, and at least one assistant cheif would be there to see that that no stone was left unturned!
