But I wonder if, as was stated on an earlier thread, if she was burned underground (we were discussing pig roasting, sorry) if that would cover the smell somewhat?
Need someone to look up the weather temperatures of the area for the time of the month this happened.
Also when were the LARGE quantities of charcoal requested of the neighbors, time of the month those were acquired. I don't have a source for the info about the borrowing of LARGE amounts of charcoal from neighbors, but did read it here on the forum in a post that had no source.
Briquettes sp? would not emit a visible amount of smoke for neighbors to see.
Area weather temperatures would have most likely, IF IF my suspicions are correct have been too cold for folks to have been outside to smell for any length of time. IF IF neighbors pull into their garages with GDO closing behind them, then less likely for there to be an odor available for them to smell. imop.
IF IF teenage children of neighbors parked their cars OUTSIDE, then most likely they would not have noticed or understood what they might have been smelling, OR OR even have mentioned it to their parents.

Hmmmm...good question. I guess we will have to rely on someone who has actually roasted a pig for that answer.
When we were discussing this earlier (it was me that brought up the possibility of an underground/pig roasting type of burning ) I asked my husband if you could still smell it.
He said yes indeed....hence the vultures circling above as earlier stated.
But I wonder if a human body would smell much different than an animal, especially if it was done underground.
Underground seems very plausible to me because of how shallow she was buried and they were calling it a cavity...like the method that is used to roast a pig....and because of all of the ashes...and all of the charcoal that was used. You need alot of charcaol brickets to roast underground.
We also discussed that he probably knew the technique because pig roasting is something that I hear alot of soldiers talking about in the summertime and Beavismom said that when she was in the military, she remembers them being mentioned too.
Horribly cruel and atrocious....
OMG! I never even contemplated he could have raped her again.To burn the body suggest to me that he was trying o cover-up DNA evidence.
I wonder if he sexually assualted her before the murder? If rape charges are true he does have a history of sexual assault.
OMG! I never even contemplated he could have raped her again.
Of course he was since the point of killing her and the baby was to destroy HIS DNA.
What if he placed her in the Fire pit and then poured gasoline On her.I too have not seen anything saying Charcoal was used.WIth gasoline it would almost be supontanious (SP) combustion so it would burh fast without much smell. Then he placed another layer of dirt over her to cover her. And then they had the Bon fire in the so called fire pit with the part of the fence. No one there would even know that beneath was her body.
I vaguely remember early on that it was said she was buried 6" deep.
Yep, I recall that now, because my comment was, heck even a dog could dig that deep. (thinking it was a shallow grave).
Unfortunately, I have no link and reading what has been posted here, it must have been wrong.
I won't go into why it's wrong..............too gruesome.
