The skin is the issue..it was mummified first

From what I have read in the transcripts, only the extremeties and face areas were mummified

the body fluids are the second issue..they did not settle beneath the body like normal

Kim, if the corpse did not show normal signs of livor mortis, then that would be evidence that the body was moved, wasn't it testified to that the body did not appear to be moved?

The third issue is that since the body didn't decompose in the normal way, the standards for testing the TOD or even Date of dumping..has to be altered to account for the oddities. (don't you just love normal discussions without the bs)

Kim, from my understanding, the body decomposed in a very normal way, except for the "mummificaton" - to mummify a body takes some pretty extreme arid/hot conditions - and a storage compartment just doesn't seem like a good place to get the factors that play into this.

Back to the cold-storage theory:

would there be any way to tell if the initial mummification was due to having been stored in a freezer? I just now grabbed a tape measure and looked at my chest freezer. I don't have a huge one,but I'm pretty sure that a child's body would fit in the thing. Also,I've gotten sloppy a couple of times,freezing meat,and it's amazing how fast freezer burn takes place.
