Was the ground blood-soaked under the body? There would have been lots of blodd there if that is where animals feasted on her initially.

I would seem that way, but no. Blood pressure drops to zero upon death, so no bleeding. (Except in the case of post-mortem wounds made underneath the body, in which case there may be some blood leaking out due to gravity.)

But there would be something under the body had she indeed been dumped at the site after death. During Putrification, the body fluids mass in the lowest portions of the body, as this state progresses - these same body fluids eat their way through the tissues onto the ground beneath the body, leaving alomst a brown/black oil subtance beneath the body. It would have been detected by the forensics specialists.
