<modsnip: quoted post was removed> Who was the last person to lay eyes on her and when?

 

[Jsizzle]

Sorry if this has been discussed but does it say anywhere WHEN the work was supposedly done?

 

[margarita25]

yeah, well, we'll know soon enough....

From your lips to God’s ears.

Really curious, and maybe one of our verified lawyers can chime in here (@gitana1 @Alethea @Chomsky ) but...

What kind of evidence does an investigation require, to persuade a judge to sign off on a warrant that requires the destruction of personal property, as in tearing up a newly laid concrete patio, or a new in-ground pool (totally speculating here)?

I mean, this isn't "we need to poke around in the shed". This is, "we need to rip up this $40K home improvement you just had done".
Seems like that would require some hefty evidence, yes?

I don't know, but as a forensic bio-anthropologist, I'd say having a picture of a body under concrete would be enough. One should even be able to tell height, sex, etc. Not that it matters. It was a new patio, too.

But no patio should have human remains under it.

Not a lawyer, but that's the kind of thing that will prompt a judge to issue a quick warrant. In the middle of the night, if need be.

And it was probably ground-penetrating radar, not sonar. I misstyped (although sonar has its value in some cases like this). Ground-penetrating radar is something most county LE have access to, then they submit to an ME (you don't need a specialist for this kind of thing).

I think the homeowner would be aware of anyone pouring concrete or any other work being done on their property so it would be tough to frame someone. JMO.

And lets just say, the home owner would also know if at any odd times work was being done.

I wonder how the 4oo people who donated to the feel.

Well, I take a little nap, all Heck breaks loose on this case, and I am now 19 pages behind......I am just gonna start reading right here...............Who all did it ????.....moo

Broussard case, like Elizabeth Smart, made us over compensate. At the end of the day, we all know the odds of who/what/why.

Sorry if this has been discussed but does it say anywhere WHEN the work was supposedly done?

JMO
I dont think we have seen anything on that yet but I dont think LE would go this far with all the resources and taking over that area to search it like is happening now, if they did not already check on when the work was done at the property.

ETA-And im sorry because you may be coming at this with a different angle. Knowing when the work was done would help us to maybe know when the site was used to dispose of someone. Good question.

LE had the permission of the Home Owner

I've missed the last few pages, but I believe we're going to get most if not the whole story this evening or tomorrow, whenever LE shares what they find. You don't go digging up a patio without not only knowing what is underneath but also knowing a good amount of the story of how they got there. I think we'll quickly learn the who (plural??), how, where and when - and maybe even the why. MOO.
