Sorry to be morbid – but I would think a wood chipper would spray evidence all over and would be impossible to clean up – so maybe it’s not surprising he didn’t go that route. But yeah, if he did, there’s no way he could’ve cleaned it completely. Too big with too many deep moving parts.

Yes there probably would have been dna evidence all over the place had it been used. At least that disturbing idea is off the table. Too bad everything else is did is just as disturbing.

I agree. I am surprised he didnt use it since it was right there on the property but the more you think about it then it makes sense he would not want evidence scattered all over the place.

He had to have used some kind of saw though. Maybe we will still be hearing of more evidence involving a saw.

I think a lot of people saw the movie Fargo and it was pretty realistic what would happen. <modsnip>

Oxton said these items (boots, gloves, etc) seemed out of place as they were cleaner than everything else #Garland #yyc

So maybe he really does have big feet for his size? Too bad they didn't say the size of the running shoes he was wearing when he was arrested.

Inside outbuilding 3 Oxton located 2 metal meat hooks he seized on July 5/14 #Garland

 

[Hatfield]

Im still struggling to think he was successful with being able to burn the bodies so cleanly that not much was found by LE.

I have to wonder if he gave up at some point and took the rest of the remains somewhere else to either bury them or dump them down a well or something along those lines.

A number of cutting knives were also found under the meat hooks "very clean very shiny.." didn't fit in w other items in room. #Garland

Omg i google image searched metal meat hooks because i really didn't know exactly what they looked like. I wish i wouldn't of. Only a few rows down and a really disturbing image showed up of a man and meat hooks were involved. I'll leave it at that.
