Excellent articles. I am at a loss as to why the remains weren't discovered much sooner. The area in which the skeletal remains were found had been searched -- with dogs. A dog would have been able to pick up the odor of decomposing flesh. That's where my big "?" comes in. Not from the scattering of the bones. This area was searched multiple times.

One reason - they didn't bring anyone to search the area where Levy's remains were eventually found.

The nearest searches off the paths (by the infamous "police recruits") did NOT include searches with any dogs, let alone cadaver dogs.

And these latest searches - locating dry bones that have been moved by weather and animals presents more of a challenged. Sometimes there is scent enough to locate and sometimes not. Expecially not, in the creekbed.

NOt findinging and thouroughly searching in an around animal dens was sloppy. For that, blame THIS.
