The bug testimony is very puzzling, no matter who killed Danielle. If the bug experts are right, DW is off the hook. I have speculated on previous threads that bleach may have been poured on the body. This might have caused the mummification and kept bugs away for a while. Neither of the bug guys addressed this possibility.

If the bug guys are right, the body was covered up until around 2-16. After that there was a light rain on 2-17 and bug activity started. I think it's possible DVD dumped the body at Dehesa on Friday, 2-1 between 10:30 pm and 2:00 am wrapped in a blaket, rug, or plastic. He got discouraged that the body would never be found (this area had been searched already), so he returned to the scene and dragged the body to a more visible spot, removing the wrappings and discarding them elsewhere.

The least likely scenario IMO is that Danielle was alive until 2-16.
