Seems like the body was wrapped in duct tape, perhaps with weights, and dumped off the far side of the island.

Just curious, how does your speculation as quoted above suggest that more than one person was involved in "preparing" and dumping the body? It would seem that one person could have done as much without help.

I guess it would depend on whether or not she was already dead.

The taping and dumping could have been done by one person. Witness Scott Peterson. However, the latest story is that the brothers left Van Sloot there on foot, alone with Hollowell. I emphasis, he was on foot, not carrying rolls of duct tape, and on the wrong side of the island.

If her body was dumped on the far side of the island, somebody had to come up with a car and duct tape, to make that happen. That suggests but does not prove help from others. Remember, Scott Peterson planned it all out, including transportation and dispensing with the body. van Sloot, on the other hand, found himself on foot, half smashed, with a body to dispense with all of a sudden.

The hair stuff in my post is based on science. The help stuff is speculation, based on circumstances.

"was involved in "preparing"

The duct tape will be the best clue is the hair is indeed from the victim.

Unless the actor(s) wore gloves when using the tape, there will be finger prints on the adhesive side. Exposure to sand, salt and water shouldn't hender finding any prints and may even preserve them.

Just a few days before, a grave like hole was discovered on the beach of the cove where the duct tape was found. They have reported it was excavated, covered, then dug up again and refilled. There is a good chance some DNA or other forensic evidence may be present in the hole.

They also reported that duct tape has been known to retain finger prints for years, even after having been exposed to the season's elements of heat, cold, rain & snow.

right!... Ask Scott Peterson
