I have sometime tomorrow.. Give me some parameters.
1. How far back do we go
2. A list of cases to start
3. Will age matter?
4. Gender or child or prep?

1- depends how many cases you can come across. Maybe 20 years to allow for the change in housing and road development, though this might not have a huge impact other than in big cities.
3 - size of the victim's body may make a difference to ease of transportation, this could be an interesting subset to explore if one was doing a paper on the subject, but we want something a bit quicker, so I would say under 7 or 8 years old and with the age of the deceased noted because our focus would really be on the 18 month to 5yr old subset I think. But that will reduce the number of relevant cases, so it's worth adding in a few either side of that age range to get a bit more info and see if it's still consistent with the target age range.
I think it's worth noting the gender of the child, definitely to note the gender of the perp, the one doing the body disposal. I don't think Sherin's case is good for this purpose as we don't have enough details...jmo, as all of this is. The gender of the perp should be very relevant.
My interests would be the perp's gender, their relationship to the child, the type of general geographical environment of the body dump, the specific environment where the body was found and whether it's above ground,above ground and slightly covered, below ground, in water, landfill, etc. Also very important would be the distance from the child's home and/or site of death.
I'm so sorry that my posts are coming over very bossy tonight...These are my suggestions, my dream list, I definitely don't expect *all* of my wishes to be fulfilled, because that's asking too much, but whatever you can come up with will be totally amazing. Thank you so much!
ETA Type of dump site is already known to have a (perp) gender component, there is research on that subject already and should be accessible online.
Personally, one thing I would love to be able to do, but not enough hours in the day, is to study road routes taken to dump sites by the perp, how they choose the route and how they decide on the dump site, how far they will drive, and what impacts on those decisions. I just had a look on G maps to try and understand Hwy 17 in relation to Mariah's home and the decisions that would have to be made on that journey.
