Can't possibly be relevant.

And the body appeared MUMMIFIED. How would that occur?

I hope you realize I was being a bit sarcastic comment to John. I do believe mummification can happen in the desert. I believe the body could have been wrapped in a sheet. The cotton content of the sheet would have allowed the moisture from the body to escape. So - mummification, rather than decomposition.

What I need to know is this: When people here refer to a van, I tend to think of the older vans, like the VW bus, or Chevy vans. Are we talking about thattype of van or a minivan? Older vans wouldn't necessarily have had carpeting in the back (cargo area), but minivans do.
