I doubt the body was dumped from either Grant or Broad. Look at those contours(those are 10 foot contours, meaning that each line represents a 10 foot change in elevation), the blue dot is good bit up a steep slope, at least 30-40 feet higher than the road, unless one approaches at an angle, but then the distance is almost as much as from the trail. Now look at that trail, between it and the blue dot is a much more gradual down slope. Also, close to the trail is Glover Road and a side road(likely good for parking a car and accessing the trail) along the ridgetop. A far better place to park and not draw as much suspicion, and much easier to drag or carry a body downhill than up.

The blue star is my estimate of the location... The command post is set up at the intersection there and it is known that remains were found about 100 yards into the woods from the intersection. Also last night before they called off the search they had an area lit up near the roads edge and the reporters were able to film it because it sat so close to roads edge. I am in Illinois but I hike a lot and I live in area just like this. I know what I saw on video tape and the areas that was taped off were not all heavy sloped areas. It will all depend on where they found the majority of her remains at and the pattern that they spread out in. We also have to remember she was a small female and only weighed about 110 pounds. Also if your trying to dump a body and carrying 110 pounds maybe 100 yards up a bi-level slope would not be that hard to do when your trying to get away with murder and save your own butt. Also we do not know yet if she was dismembered or not. The lack of blood on the clothing means nothing yet until we know more. Hopefully they will say soon if they think she was killed there or was dumped there after being killed. If they say she was dumped there then again the finger will start pointing more to Condit again.

Good points. I still suspect that Broad and Grant are busier roads than Glover(at night), and parking along them would be more noticeable, hence my speculation that the body reached its spot from above(the east). But you could be correct.
