Thanks for the update Tresir.... so the police have only used 24 hrs so far...
What would he have kept for 37 years? A weapon maybe?Definitely went to hide something!
Perhaps the matching bag from a set? If the bones were in a proper bag, like fabric or leather, and not a plastic bag.Definitely went to hide something!

In 1982 most farmers that I knew in the UK, had at least one shotgun. I'm not saying that is what killed her though. Moo edit.maybe a trophy? A diary? Who knows!
Searching car for what, I wonder? Traces of something he took to the tip following the discovery of his wife's body???
Iirc he has only lived in that bungalow/ single story home for the past five years. So, unless he brought bits of her along with him when he moved, there probably wouldn't be any physical evidence of her in that home.Since she lived in the same house, it would not be surprising if her DNA was in that house or on items from that house, even after all these years. The search of the car is strange, it does not look like a model from the seventies / early eighties, or does it?

I wonder if LE have searched the farm house.
She didn't live in that house. He only sold the farmhouse and moved there 5 years ago. Unless he kept some of her belongings or still has furnishings - I don't know what they might be looking for. A weapon is the only thing I can think of too, as others have suggested. The car model is certainly not 80's either.Since she lived in the same house, it would not be surprising if her DNA was in that house or on items from that house, even after all these years.

I suspect he was handling the emptying of the cesspit himself all these years and might have given quite specific instructions for its maintenance when he sold the property. This could have been the first time they drained it since they bought it. I can't imagine he hasn't obsessed over it. IMO.
