I've been gone for a couple of days except for a brief read this am. I just don't understand why they keep going back to the house unless the keep finding some sort of evidence. What is that? They had the house in the first place but why they didn't sweep it then in the beginning?
Did they not have probable cause? Was finding her leg the cause to do the now in depth search? And what have they found to keep coming back now to the kitchen? Surely they would have luminoled (sp) the entire house last week right? I mean really, anything as gruesome as we all have allowed ourselves to imagine surely they would have that evidence by now right?
What are they looking for?
Where are you Zahra?
Let me see if I can explain. Search warrants have to be explicit as to what they are looking for. They might have just asked for and got a general warrant the first time, then found more evidence that prompted them to get another warrant, giving them authority to do more detailed searching, like the walls, the floors, the yard, etc. They can't just go in and tear a place apart without the proper warrant, and the warrant will state where they are allowed to look. They don't want anything to be thrown out, or unusable in court because of how and where it was obtained.
In some cases, the body is right there, maybe hid in the attic or in a container. In other cases, it's concealed, maybe behind a wall or under the flooring. If she was dismembered and put in the freezer compartment, that freezer will have lots of evidence, even if it had been cleaned up. Blood will seep into the seams and the little screw holes and such where it is put together. It looks like they are doing this by the book, and that's good... we don't need any mistakes for a smart defense lawyer to get ahold of!
