Unlike yesterday, Michael #Rafferty is paying close attention to the maps shown today. Often leaning in to get closer look #sl

Because HE knows where he dumped everything and he wants to see if they searched there

Absolutely. There is no innocent reason for chunks of the seats to have been cut out, nor for the entire thing to be removed. IMO it is doubtful that the damage inflicted on Tori could have been done inside the backseat of a small car. So why would he need to dispose of the seat if there was no sexual assault?

Derstine asks for satellite view of scene... Questions about elevation of the rock pile.

Stirling agrees with Derstine about the elevation. Asks about moving between the fence and rock pile, if it is up hill.

It is up hill, but not steep, Stirling says.

RaffertyLFP: Derstine and Stirling disagreeing how steep the walk would be from the stone pile east to a tree line.

RaffertyLFP: Stirling says it would not be a steep grade.
