Which increases suspicion that the guy in jail that USED A KNIFE BOTH OTHER TIMES probably isn't our guy. If he used a knife twice before and had attacked Chandra, he most likely would have used a knife again wouldn't you think?
So if the body was dumped, it likely happened from above. Perhaps a car goes up there late at night, parks off of Glover or the side road, then a couple takes the body and dumps it when they don't hear anything coming. Even if a patrol car comes upon the car while they are away(since the park is closed at night), the couple could emerge and pretend to be adventorous lovers(and the park seems notorious for George Michael type encounters) with little risk of too much inquisition(why would a park cop want to risk a harrassment of gays charge?).
OTOH, she could have been walking the trail(she had free time, several decisions to make, perhaps doing some exploring in her final days in DC to relax and do some contemplation), when confronted by an attacker, made the mistake of running into the woods to the west of the trail, and was cornered caught on the edge of the dropoff. Or perhaps the attacker drug her there(about 50-70 feet below the trail, 200 yards away) and murdered her.
Or perhaps she went to meet Gary or an associate, say at the Nature Center(the loop and side road just off of Glover). He/she/it/them then suggested they take a walk, and headed down the trail. Then a suggestion(lots of possibilities here) that they leave the trail and head west, and at or near the final resting place she is murder and then dumped. Perhaps Gary in a heat of the moment rage(which I tend to doubt, too hard to not show some visible sign that something is wrong later in the day if it was unplanned), or more likely someone doing his dirty work.
