The Smithman e-fits

[Vertigo Swirl]

As you say the staff and volunteers may have performed  a perfunctory search of the bins but by the early hours of the 4th the bins had been collected and emptied. Further the landfill that rubbish from PDL goes to was never searched.

Remember if my hypothesis is correct this had to look like the abductor had dumped the body.

why in a bin?

Why not? What would you do with a body you wanted to get rid of?

A body I wanted to get rid of but also wanted it be found quickly?  Hmm...

[jassi]

Who says the body had to be found quickly?

Are you thinking bins only make sense if the person knew the bins were going to be emptied the next morning?

[faithlilly]

Who says the body had to be found quickly?

No one.

Unfortunately any holidaymakers wouldn’t be aware of bin collection details.

If you want a body to be found then you would put it somewhere it would be quickly discovered, not still missing 11 years later.

If I wanted to be certain that the body would be found and not taken to the tip and buried under 10 tons of garbage I would leave it somewhere a bit more obvious.  I also would not carry a body through a holiday resort, making no attempt at disguising myself and if I had decided a bin was the best bet I would probably have found one without the need for walking down the well-lit main street.

Maybe that's where the plan went wrong.

Would the search of the mound align to that thinking?

Where I've lost the argument is why do they want it found?  Was it they wanted it found but well away from the apartment, to make it look like an abduction?

It was a dumb plan, far more cunning to make the body disappear forever.  Perhaps they knew that putting it in a bin would achieve this ultimate aim, eh?

I can't tell you why they would want it found, it makes no sense to me at all.

The bins are emptied in the early hours of the morning and I agree the landfill site should have been checked in the early days but unfortunately it wasn't.

One former poster on here (who doesn't live there) stated they were emptied every night, but I've never been able to find any confirmation of that.

If that were the case, they'd have been emptied 4 times by the time they were checked.

And the employees who searched would have pointed out that they had been emptied. The search would have moved on to the sites the rubbish was taken to.
