Something about that maybe Howard got a different pair of jeans out and hid? the soiled jeans until he got them to Horizons and "found" those two pills in the pocket which he flushed down the stool.
Some opine that maybe there was some type of soiling on the jeans that wasn't on the underwear and that's what caused Howard to take the jeans. Of course, you know where the speculation goes from there.
I don't recall Howard ever saying he took Daniel's jeans due to the soiling but then I've probably missed alot or forgotten, if that ever was the case.
IMO.
it’s shelley that told us the jeans were ‘shaken out’ at the house (which kind of blows the speculation they were soiled - not a good thing to do to soiled jeans lol). why howie would allegedly point out the methadone in Anna’s fridge to Shelley the day of Daniel’s death, before tox reports were even performed, rang a big, big, BIG bell for me.
here’s a reference:
