could be nothing at all, lots of damaged cars on property....even if they confirm the smudge....Avery driving the car around before hiding it can explain the contact...the RAV very well may have caused the contact, but it could have been Avery driving....I think he may have initially been looking to dump the car off his property for obvious reasons...but decided not for whatever reason....maybe he thought it would be harder to find among all the cars on his salvage yard, then sitting by itself on somebody elses lot...
True enough, but if that's the case, why would the State even bat an eye at her wanting to test it? If it's nothing to them, SURE KZ, TEST AWAY! Of course, it could be nothing. Or it could have SA's DNA on it as well, if he's guilty. But the fact they refused is definitely suspicious.
I believe they also mentioned that burning it in a burn barrel first would be more effective as the heat is contained and not so spread out...some of TH's remains were found in a burn barrel on Avery's property, so the initial burning that did the most damage was in the barrel, and the remains were transferreed to the fire pit and spread around trying to further hide/destroy them....so that may have been the "10 foot fire" that was seen...obviously that 10 foot fire didn't finish/have the affect Avery was hoping...
I get that. I didn't word my blurb very well, sorry. There was no goo, that I recall, in the burn barrel either though, and if that's where the initial and majority of burning went down (which I agree would definitely make the most sense), they would have found some goo, I would think. I'd like to hear more from the fire expert on that subject.
I believe they hunted ground hogs around the garage and maybe some shots went in there or whatever is what they were saying with some of that....the only bullet that really matters (the one with TH's DNA)...and its possible for there to not be bone fragments, just DNA.....doesn't have to be bone fragments on the bullet....bullet could have hit the wood wall after hitting TH...
pretty sure the expert said if it passed through her cranium per the entry and exit holes contended to be the official cause of death, there should be bone fragments present on the bullet; if it hit the wall after, there would be bone AND wood, and also the bullet likely wouldn't be sitting on the floor if it hit the wall
the next day, Hillegas gets a plethora of phone calls (Zellner presumes that they are dropped calls bc they had dropped calls when in the quarry themselves) at the same time that Chuck Avery had reported seeing (head or tail) lights on their property.....not sure how this plays a part, I may have missed the relevance here...
because it fit her theory's timeline of Hillegas, with assist from law enforcement, moving the RAV via the quarry property onto Avery property
