I don't really know, but it sure made sense when i thought about it. I think maybe if she was removed before she started to decompose, maybe there wouldn't be a smell? How long after she was reported missing were the dogs in the home?
Were the dogs even in the home at all? I recall there being sheets placed on the ramps outside the home for the dogs to smell, and i never understood that, simply because the wind would make the scent travel....and if there were little hairs on the sheet that didn't belong to anyone in the home, they are now gone b/c they removed the sheet from the interior of the home. I always thought they would get HaLeigh scent from her bedroom somewhere, or maybe from her shoes or something. I just can't recall them being IN the home with the dogs. (i could be wrong, but if someone had a link, it will make me re work it...lol)
i think that MH was staged FAR before LE arrived.
I also agree about the rumors!!!!!

ETA: I never gave it thought if the beds were positioned that way when LE first arrived that early morning, but they would be PRETTY dumb to not have it like that, and then change it and have a walk through with Marlana from NG, and video evidence of the scene not being the way it was for LE. That ALONE would give them away to LE...and maybe it did. IDK. But now i need to re think this..lol
