Wasn't Ira Einhorn a large burly man, and his girlfriend petite like Laci? Maybe Modesto PD should be on the lookout for a suspicious ~~trunk locked in a closet~~ toolbox locked in a storage shed.

Yes, he was!

Yes, that's true, Einhorn lasted 18 months (I think) with his girlfriend's body stashed in a large trunk in the closet of his back porch-style room. I believe Einhorn's apartment was on the second floor. But the police did not search his apartment during those 18 months, b/c (as I remember it) Einhorn's story was believed. He said his girlfriend, Holly, had broken up with him. Said he just didn't know where she was, b/c they'd broken up.

Einhorn's downstairs neighbor sure noticed something foul. There was a smell, and there was even some sort of horrible substance that seeped through the floor, into the neighbor's closet on HIS porch-style room, below Einhorn's. Strangely, in spite of the neighbor's complaints to their landlord, I don't think that was what caused Einhorn to actually be visited by the police. Can't remember what finally put the police onto him. I am thinking it was the insistence of the victim's family, though.

There was another one of those guys who kept his victim (his ex-wife, I think) in a box--this one, in a tool area of his grandfather's garage. I saw some of it on TV not long ago. It was an old case. I remember that the police who finally pried open that box said that the mummified victim "had rainbow-colored hair." This was b/c, after being in the box for so long, the dye from her clothing had bled through and gotten into her hair.

As for Scott, his problem is that he was never able to keep either his home or his warehouse from being searched by police. I think they'd have looked at any such trunks or crates.

Now, if Scott had managed to deliver a trunk or crate to the garage or attic of some family member--maybe during the period btw the night of 12/23, and 5-6 p.m.--well......?
