Danielles body did not decompose in a way that one would expect. The mummification process has not been adequately explained by anyone.. someone needs to present an expert on 'mummification'.

The expert yesterday went over that and said it was not unusual nor inconsistent, hands and feet many times mummify first...

The first bug guy ADMITTED that he was not a pathologist, but offered his opinion wrt:to the body's condition. Why wouldn't the second bug guy be any different?

http://video.uniontrib.com/news/metro/danielle/transcripts/20020710-9999-pm1.html question of bug doc by dusek Q SO IF THE BODY HAD MUMMIFIED, THAT WOULD AGAIN PUSH BACK THE INITIAL TIME WHEN THE BUGS COULD HAVE GOTTEN ON THE BODY.

A IT COULD HAVE AFFECTED A BIT THE ABSOLUTE NUMBERS OF INSECTS ATTRACTED TO THE BODY. AND PARTICULARLY FLIES.

Q THE MUMMIFICATION, IF IN FACT THAT WAS A CONDITION OF A BODY, THAT WOULD EXTEND OR -- EXTEND THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME THE BODY WAS EXPOSED.

A YES.

Q WAS THIS BODY MUMMIFIED?

A I'M NOT A PATHOLOGIST. BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE, THE BODY WAS RATHER DRY, PARTICULARLY THE EXTERIOR SURFACE, THE SKIN
