If you were the perp, you would realize that the only way to get the cops off your tail would be to make them think you were dead. If you wanted them to think you were dead, you would stage something exactly like this.

Interesting.
So this isn’t just anther head-fake, to make LE think he is (or was) local when he is actually up the app.trail or in Mexico, but perhaps they fed articles of clothing to a gator (tied to a pork chop lol) and waited for it to be finish digesting and get deposited. All this to get LE to stop searching for him because he is dead like Jim Morrison and Andy Kaufman
Thats what I’d do if I was on the run. Then again, I wouldn’t murder my girlfriend, I’d cut bait and bail out of the relationship.
