I wonder if we are all clear on the body farm results and what they mean...:waitasec:
I
thought they meant that different gases were released at different rates during decomp. And the mixture of gases in THAT trunk, were consistent with a body 2.6 days into decomposition.
IF that is so, then the next question would be, would a sealed container prevent any further gases, consistent with a more advanced decomp, from being released into the trunk? The Body Farm experts may shine more light on this.
And would Casey handle a decomposed body to seal it and put it
back in the trunk, knowing she'd have to handle it again?...Personally, I can't see it.
My reasoning for that? Here is a link to an article from a fellow on the Body Farm along with some graphic photos...beware, not for the faint of heart...
