I don’t believe it even has to be Memorial Lake. There are so many areas that get very rural and very secluded in a very short drive from Palmyra.
Cody worked at Penn National shoeing horses. It gets VERY secluded up off the backside of the track.
It is less than an hour from Palmyra to the Appalachian Trail, many state gamelands and state parks.
From what Kortne’s family has said about her, this is not a woman who was going to just let some guy manhandle her or do whatever he wanted to her, unless she was receptive to his advances. I bet the scuffling noises her from her apartment were her fighting back. I don’t doubt that for a second.
Factor in Cody’s profession- farrier, commonly known as a blacksmith. I have owned horses for 45 years, and worked in the equine industry as a professional as well. I have known many a farrier, and these guys are strong. I don’t think Cody would have had any problem overpowering Kortne and moving her body out of her apartment, down the stairs and into a vehicle.
I would love to know if a cadaver dog ever search Cody or Milton’s cars!
