On AMW I swear that the Sheriff said that the baby’s little hand appeared to have be cut off....”just there” I believe he said. Maria was only buried about 1 ft. deep. Anyone else hear that? Also, last night on Nancy Grace’s show, there was a guest on that said that even with being burned, the baby would have still been protected inside the mother. He said that IF the baby was seen outside of the mother, Maria had either given birth, or it was cut out.
From what Ed Brown said, I thought that the baby’s hand was intact, but burned off from the arm. But I think he backed away from this very fast, and I assumed it was because it was too graphic.
This quote says the baby was in the abdomen. I never gave thought to the amniotic fluid being a barrier to the fire, but I would certainly have no idea how long that would last.
I would think the farther from the DOD, the fluid would have naturally evaporated.
However this was rationalized in the mind at the time, the longer this goes on, and the more time passes, some one will snap, somehow.
There is no way the wife did not have a clue. What did he tell her, “Honey, I was going to paint the living room red for you, for Christmas, but the can exploded, first in the garage when I tried to open it, and then in the living room.”
