The restraints are leather and cotton. About 10 handcuffs. Some had long chains. #Garland #yyc

Ok what in the gosh was he doing with all those? Consenting adults and BDSM aside (which could explain restraints ), that's very bizarre to have that many restraints.

I don't even know what to say about this evidence. If he had a whole box of different types of restraints was he planning to continue doing this to other women?

I'm pretty sure this sicko wasn't into anything that was consensual

 

[JadeSLeuth]

It was already sickening. I don't think I know a word for what is to come.
Should I be tempering the posts for some of this or just plug through?

I'm going to push through it all. I'll post a warning if something is particularly graphic.
I think there might be a lot of it to come today and tomorrow.

Why oh why doesn't DG just plead guilty.

I find it hard to believe that he just started to fantasize about this level of deviancy at 54 years of age. Is there any information that he has ever been in an intimate relationship with a woman or a man? Has anyone come forward to indicate that they are former lovers of this man?

Yes...they focused on the burn barrel prior to July 12th, cooling it down with water and then emptying it on a tarp under tents and sifting through it. After that they they moved on to the burn pit where the barrel appears to have been emptied. They returned in March 2015 to once again go through the burn pit.

Not sure why they waited so long to go through the burn pit. That is just as important if not more important than the burn can contents.

The pit is where he was emptying the ashes and left over contents after each time he burned stuff in the burn can. That burn pit should have been a main focus right from the start IMO.

I have two similar looking burn cans and I burn wood usually in them. I have to end up emptying out the contents once it builds up with ash and left over debris that wont burn down. Mine are 55 gallon drums.

No matter how much stirring and relighting with lighter fluid it is impossible to burn every single thing into just ash. I even have holes drilled in the sides of my burn can to help air flow.

We read the other day about one of the drums being on its side. I have to wonder if he did some burning while the can was on its side and just shoveled stuff inside from the side. I also mentioned the other day that I wonder if he rigged up either a propane torch or an acetylyn torch to shoot flames into the can to make it more like an incinerator. Without some fuel like gas or liquid that he kept adding it would be difficult to burn things cleanly.

Jury coming back now to hear further testimony from Const. Oxton. #Garland

The Orange Tanks I think are for Acetylyn torch. That is what I was suspecting he may have rigged to shoot flames into the burn can.

A person could easily bring that torch set over to the burn can and shoot the flames into the can through a hole in the can and it would do a much better job of burning anything in the can.

I have wondered if he has committed other heinous acts, and with all the items that are being identified, my thoughts are growing much stronger indeed!

I wonder if he developed a fascination with restraining people, and the devices that can be used, after his own first arrest and during the time he was in jail and/or prison?

The last time Jen saw her son alive, he was wearing the pink pyjamas. That's why it was mentioned. A, it was factual witness account and B, it was a sweet, funny moment that they shared ...

Then why do they think he had on these other clothes when taken?

Thanks so much for sharing tweets.
Checking in ever so quickly and a few things come to mind:
I recall that DG had no glasses in the early days after his arrest. So possibly his that were in the ashes?
On Liquid Nitrogen: Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic fluid that can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue. http://patient.info/health/liquid-nitrogen-treatment

Well we know from evidence and a picture that a pair of pink pajama pants were found next to the pull-out couch in the basement. We don't know why they were taken off though. As for the other clothes I am assuming they did not find Nathan's clothes in the liknes home so that would lead one to believe he was wearing them.

Oxton is now going through the 2nd box of restraints: leather and cotton. Some still have the tags on them from Princess Auto #Garland #yyc

I bet Princess Auto is going to love hearing this....

 

[Hatfield]

Then why do they think he had on these other clothes when taken?

I think the peach colored shorts are probably what he had underneath the pink pajama bottom. So when they put out the Amber Alert they knew he no longer had on the pink PJ bottoms and so they described what he likely had on still which would have been his shorts.
