I'm not going to beat my head against a wall about it... FIne by me if you want to ignore the whole picture, which indicated the body has been there since may. Lets stop far short of that. For the last time, there is nothing about the crime scene or remains as revealed to anyone in the public that is in any way inconsistant with Chandra's unburied dead body being left there May 1.
The next person who says her head must have been chopped off, or already decomposed, because it rolled down the hill gets a virtual kick in the butt.
The smell questions are much more understandable. Her body was in a location fairly remote, and was not searched by recruits. Dogs were not even brought into the area. Add to that, the search was in July. If Chandra's dead body was left where it lay on May 1, exposed to heat, humidity, carnivores/scavengers, and most importantly. insects there would have been virtually no flesh remaining at the time of the search. In fact, skeletonization could have taken as little as two or three weeks.
If any human passing on foot did happen to smell something unpleasant in May/June, I doubt they would have rushed into the underbrush to explore, but would instead have attributed it to some dead animal.
Nor is there anything inconsistent with the body (or skeleton) being placed there much later. We have to wait for more information, which, unfortunately, becomes less reliable the longer the govt sits on it.
