Been away for a little while and catching up. Seems everyone has been very busy posting some very thought provoking posts. When remains are burned in a fire, there is a smell like no other. It is a very distinct and pungent odor emitted that experienced professional firefighters recognize upon arrival at the fire scene. If JDW had used this means to dispose of his victims, depending on the wind direction, the neighbors would have likely noticed this very unique odor. Yet, couldn't identify the odor and simply would not have suspected in a million years that this type of deviant behavior would be taking place right under their noses, possibly for years or even decades.. Could you imagine living that close to evil where even the highest of fences would not a good neighbor make?
In a past GA prolific serial predator/killer's trial, the prosecutor described the evil creature as; 'the Everywhere man, yet Nowhere man'...That pretty well describes JDW, imo..

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Plastic beads, blood, boots, charred bones and a bayonet will be key pieces of evidence as a suspected serial killer goes on trial for a second decapitation murder, a prosecutor said Friday.
A charred human skull and hand bones were recovered from a burn pit on one of Hilton's campsites near where the rest of her remains had been found, Cappleman said. She said a cigarette butt with Hilton's DNA on it was found at the campsite.
She also said a medical examiner was unable to determine a cause of death and an anthropologist could not tell if the skull and hands found in the fire pit were male or female.
