I was wondering more why it says “When Taylor went to check the car out, he noticed a jar full of ash inside and asked what it was.” when the jar clearly has the name JAMES written on the top of it. Unless it was written afterward, that should have been a clue!
Because a jar of powder has someone’s name on it shouldn’t easily lead one to conclude or even suspect that the contents are human remains. Could be a jar of seasoning, or any number of other powdered substances that belonged to someone.
