Lol yup hunter def and Flukeyou used to claim all the time that Dr. Hackett ran the bodies thru a chum grinder. Remember how much of nut fluke was lol!
This might be a weird association on my part, but did anyone else think "wood chipper" when they heard "wood chips"? I mean, isn't that a common "hide the body" joke?
From the movie This is 40:
Debbie: "Have you ever thought about killing me?"
Pete: "Oh yeah"
Debbie: "Really?"
Pete: "Sure"
Debbie: "How would you do it?"
Pete: "A wood chipper"
Debbie: "A wood chipper?"
Pete: "Yeah"
Debbie: "A wood chipper?"
Pete: "Yeah"
Debbie: "Wow"
Pete: "I know. Did you see Fargo?"
Debbie: "Yeah"
Pete: "Vhoom!"

Agreed. Woodchips cling strongly to clothing and hair, and very likely transferred from a work shed, vehicle -- and yes, possibly -- a work site where the victims were held. They're incidental, but also significant.My opinion is that the woodchips aren't some kind of strange signature, but rather something he didn't think about. If I had to guess, I'd say it was accidental transfer from his vehicle, shop or a construction site. Just a guess, but it sure makes me wonder about that "abandoned housing development" on Esplanade Dr.

I think some of the confusion and disagreement stems from the use of the words wood chips. I wish he would have been more specific. Were they wood shavings? Saw dust? Because wood chips make you think of larger peices of wood.
What's bugging me are all the discrepancies in these reports. Were they mutilated or weren't they?

Could they be referring to the condition of their heads when the word mutilated is used?
Chips, shavings-- they all cling and are easily transported from place to place. Regardless, the prosecutors stressed the fact that JB has been a carpenter for his entire adult life. In my mind, "carpenter" indicates wood shavings. But, that's JMO.
Growing up around horses, when I hear the words "wood shavings" I think of animal bedding.
In the sense he's using it in what's quoted, I think he's referring to "the killer" in generic terms as far as scientific possibility so to me that's a little different.
Yes, and some descriptions I've read make it sound like just that.Could they be referring to the condition of their heads when the word mutilated is used?
So...with respect to Costilla, it sounds as though the missing piece of evidence might be a DNA match. If that's the case, that's a bit of a head-scratcher for me.
DNA samples that were non-usable 10-20 years ago are being re-examined in many cold cases today, as advancements in biotechnology have made them now viable. That could be the case here.I quoted the above and suggested that Costilla might just be a weaker case. But I see that tying JB to it was supposed to be "pending lab results", so I'm scratching my head now too, MK. I had been thinking that there might not be a good DNA sample from Costilla. I'm not sure how long it took to find Costilla, and I've posted a link somewhere earlier that contends that DNA is often not usable forensically after 6 weeks (which could have been a problem trying to collect it from GB4 victims). But if they were doing lab testing, they must have been testing something, so I don't know.
