Maybe it was plant debris that initially covered him and it eventually eroded away. Perps are generally lazy so I'm guessing a local. If was winter at the time of his death, the ground was frozen, it would be too much work to dig a grave.

"Investigators say the bones were mostly on top of the ground, but some of the remains were buried."
