The brody marks have been discussed a lot! However; Del Rio posted late Tuesday night that he had spent a lot of time on that property in the fall and the brody marks were there BEFORE this crime. However........it is still a question as to why the neighbors said they were "new" when he apparently saw them for the first time the day before Mackenzie's body was found there.
Plus, some of us thought that the media reporting on those would surely be able to tell if they were new or several months old! So, there is a question as to whether they were already there for several months or connected to the crime, somehow. I think the general consensus has been that they do appear to be made by a dirt bike. There has also been discussion about whether or not the figure 8 has some significance. Once again, to all the newcomers, it would help you much if you go back and read the threads from the beginning. It's time consuming, but very helpful.
I don't believe that the "neighbor" can even see that part of the CB property from his house or property. Even if he could, I think it would be difficult and could only be viewed from one or two particular spots.
Another thing we discussed about the pink tape a few days ago was that, if it is indeed a drag mark or wheel mark from a wheel barrow and the "trail" left in the process of getting MacKenzie's body from point A to where she was left...........is that IF her body was being moved FROM THE HOUSE, a different and more direct route would have more than likely been taken. Notice that the tape begins from that point off of the drive way, indicating perhaps that she was transported from a vehicle parked there, unless she was carried from the house to where a wheelbarrow awaited, but that doesn't seem plausible. Could just be that MacKenzie wasn't in the CB house at all, but the killer or accomplices were in order to "clean up" after placing her body in the yard. Just speculation..........
I like your theory of the wheelbarrow. If it's true, then that would probably have to mean that the perps drove there in a truck or large SUV or a trailer.
There were a few things in Rio's pix (thanks Rio) I hadn't seen before & some were kinda odd to me..Like the beach..It doesn't look like a place to walk along the shore..Very rocky & at some points it appears the water comes up almost to the brush..Even tho locals say otherwise I don't feel the perp expected anybody to come walking along to see the body.
I was under the impression there were no other homes around but I def saw some & one looked pretty close too..It's to the right in pix #?
It didn't seem like a car could be parked at the back of the house but I'm not as sure about that so I'll have to take another look.
Beach: The beach is walkable, but the river has been extremely low since January. I'm a local and I agree that the perps did NOT expect anybody to be walking along that beach (at least, not until summer). It's very uncommon for people to walk along that beach, especially this time of year.
Other Homes: The other homes you see in the photos are all summer vacation homes. And the homes nearest the CB property were recently built and are either unsold or have yet to be occupied.
Parking: It's possible to park a car behind the house, but I think it would be very difficult.
This theory intrigues me. Especially the reference to the Dexter character. I have never watched that show. However; if it is something that a suspect or poi watches a lot........easy enough to find out. The fact that the CB house is on the river and easy access to get..........MacKenzie...... into a boat from the shore and then downriver to dispose of........all of her. (sorry)
It would be somewhat difficult as he would have to put the boat in downriver and get up there without being seen.........or heard. I don't know if there is any kind of fishing this time of year that would help in disguising a reason to be out there in a boat right now?
It would not be difficult to launch a boat into the river and then drive it up river (about 1/2 mile).
Yes, there are several fishing boats on that stretch of the river every day--especially weekends. There are also lots of boats carrying duck hunters every day. So, a boat being launched or on the river would raise no eyebrows.
Wendy D. Cowell Well, I guess you have all heard about our terrible tragedy for my beautiful Mackenzie. Our hearts are so broken that I don't even know how you get throught something like this. It's hard to breath, let alone to think about the terrible things she must have endured to get where she is now. At least they are not hurting her anymore and God has graciously taken her to a better place, in his arms.

This entry leads me to believe that there was more than one person involved. ????
Great reading skill! It's kind of consipicuous that WC used the word "they." It indicates that she knows/believes that at least 2 perps were involved in MC's death.
Also, read what WC said to the WW in the February 13 article regarding the candle light vigil:
We wanted to be productive and help, said Wendy Cowell, Mackenzies mother. I feel totally helpless. ... It can happen to anybody.
It seems like WC was trying to deflect guilt or suspicions away from her.
