[The Great Satan]

From the Washington Post:

Later, after attending a briefing on the case, Ramsey said there was a "very strong probability" that an animal indeed had retrieved it, possibly from a burrow. That hypothesis is based on information the police received from the National Zoo, which told investigators that the animals making this part of the park their home could have abandoned the area during the search and may have been replaced by others after police left. Under this theory, the bone may have been uncovered by an animal cleaning out an old den.

The DC cops' handling of this case is as absurd as their handling of the Joyce Chiang case (Joyce was the murdered intern of Gary's good friend, Rep. Howard Berman). I wonder who Gary will kill next?

I wonder why these stories don't identify the animals who inhabit this part of the park. Presumably the tooth marks on the bones identify the animals. Are they rats, and do the D.C. authorities not want to admit the extent to which their city is rat-infested?

Seems likely:
