I'm not squeamish about crime scene pictures, so I am okay with staring at them for long periods of time to try to get some idea of what happened. Anyway, there's two pictures in particular that aren't making much sense to me right now, in conjunction with all I've read about this case.
I'm sure someone can help clear up what I'm seeing..
Now, these pictures are not labelled, but I've established this is the body of Michael Moore. Both pictures are of the same victim, who appears to be tied with two dark laces.
In the first picture, I think I am seeing (pic taken from above) a body being lifted out of water by someone wearing a white t-shirt with lettering on it. The body has what appears to be a green cloth partially covering the torso. The legs are splayed wide, as far as the bindings allow.
In the second picture, I am seeing the victim laid on the bank, on his side. The torso is partially obscured by something green. The legs are now together at the knees, only the ankles remain slightly parted.
My questions are:
-- What is that green cloth over his torso? Where is that mentioned?
-- If MM was in full rigor when removed from the water, his legs should not be changing positions like that. So was he not yet fully in rigor at the time his body was actually removed from the water, but perhaps was in full rigor by the time his body was examined by the coroner?
