"Oops, there's a third possibility: She was killed around Feb 14 - 18. Animals came, flies came, putrefaction happened, the gases built up, the fluids found their escape (you know how all that takes place, no need to gross out everyone else)and THEN the body was moved to Dehesa and left in approximately the same position as in the first location. That would be soooo weird, though"

I have had this same weird thought also - unless she was wrapped in a shroud of some sort, then I cannot imagine how someone could hide the fact that the body was moved and mimic the exact post. I still belkieve that she was killed and dumped between the 12th-14th.

I still belkieve.......

Well, it wouldn't be too hard to mimic the old position approximately, which is all it would take. The ME only examined the body in situ after dark after all, and any small differences ref livor mortis could be put down to animals pulling at the body. So it's quite possible. I agree that the most logical and straightforward explanation is that she was, indeed, killed around Feb 14-18. Rather unpleasant conclusion, but certainly the most logical one.
