I heard a clip from a Riverside LE officer stating that he thought that the boy could have been buried there during their prior searches and that it was not until he was partially exposed (his opinion-by animals) that he could be found.
That doesn't sound right to me. Were the dogs present in the initial searches only tracking dogs? If so, would tracking dogs hit/alert on buried human remains? If other animals were able to detect remains and partially excavate him then why weren't the search dogs able to pick anything up?
Also the officer said that he personally had searched that specific area early on. Does that mean that the ground looked undisturbed at that time?
It seems more likely to me that Terry was placed there after the initial searches as well. But then that poses the question of why they would allow the area to be searched again the night he was found, unless the parties granting permission were unaware Terry was buried there or knew and wanted the ordeal to be over. I would be interested to know if the 16 yo was among the family members that was asked that night about searching.
Does anyone know if the search warrant issued the following day was just protocol or had the family refuse entry without it?
When I initially heard that dogs had not picked up Terry's scent, I took it to mean it appeared he did not have a scent "leaving" so, I always thought he was either still on the premises or he had been removed/carried off via a vehicle.
If he was placed in his final resting spot after the intial search of the property, I wonder where his body was prior. If the SB confided in his Mom what had transpired...maybe she & her SO attempted to hide Terry until he could be buried after...in an attempt to throw off the search...?
Sadly...mom's have been known to go to any lengths to protect their children...even when they commit the most heinous of crimes.
I don't think this family had any idea the magnitude of what these hundreds of searchers & LE were capable of accomplishing to find this boy...and of course one special lady who brought it all to an end.
So many questions that only time will tell and unfortunately...we never really know if in the end we really do hear the real truth. :-/
