Do I remember it right that some of her remains were found in a bucket just sitting there where the skull was found?
Respectfully - - I think that is INCORRECT, and I would encourage we do more double-checking before that idea gets implanted as some sort of "false fact" if indeed it's not true.
As I recall, and this is all afaik ...
* yes a bucket was found with the remains
* but afaik it was never revealed what it contained (if anything)
* some guessed or wildly assumed it had remains
* others guessed or wildly assumed it had carried remains from elsewhere
* but strictly speaking, afaik the finder (and LE) never said what he found in it, nor if he found anything in it at all
* didn't LE even threaten or try to prosecute him for talking to the media about finding anything (ie Holly in general)?
...[ASIDE - - my thought: way to go Stowe, nice way to handle your witnesses and get them on your side - again]
* I think he said he turned over the bucket looking for ginseng, and then made a "discovery"
...but that could mean the discovery was under the bucket, or maybe it was something in the bucket, or perhaps both - but, we just don't know afaik
* maybe in the bucket something was written, like "Holly Bobo RIP" or something written noting her gravesite there or decease
* for all we know, it maybe could have been a crude head marker for a crude grave, or a container of personal items
* or maybe parts dismembered from there at the remains site
* and as you note, it could have been used to bring stuff from elsewhere
* it's all pure conjecture so any of the above could be right, or something else entirely
* keep in mind, the defense in this case may not even be able to answer these questions yet - -and they may not even know for sure that it was Holly
