Thats a pucker moment for him when he sees that truck pull up to his properties, if he is guilty, which I think he is. Hopefully something comes of this.

To 80's post, has there ever been a follow up to the bones found? That wasn't the first burial site for that killer.

I’d think once it came back as not being Crystal Rodgers they privately reached out to the family of said persons bones and discussed it that way. If they wanted to remain private they likely respected those wishes and kept a tight lip from that point forward.

I know I can’t imagine how that would go over in my house.

If Houck was dumb enough to leave anything at those rentals, that’s on him. I don’t know for certain but IIRC that farm they owned or used was said to have several farm animals ala cow, goat......PIG. Who knows, but I’m guessing the FBI realized locals never searched the rentals and wanted some kind of search there.

At this point I don’t know what’s more surprising, that Houck hasn’t slipped and given up something that has him in prison or that NO one in that family has gone ahead and tried to kill him.

I know for a fact at least 5 cats in my family were ready to end Shaun Windsor’s existence of the feds didn’t find him after killing my cousin and their son.

Just keep it quiet and not pursue an obvious murder?

I dont think they know who's bones those were.

I was speculating. I legit, like you, can’t see nothing coming from it, so to me it was probably handled a little more private than the spotlight shined when everyone thought it was going to be crystal rogers.

they know it isn’t, so I can’t see them not know who it is.

If he indeed used the rental property, it would be very similar to what the flores did in the Kristen Smart case. Burying them and then putting concrete or a drive over it which seems to be where the FBI is focusing today.

Can’t they X-ray it? Also wouldn’t someone have seen them pouring concrete at or around that time?

GPR will only show if the substrate was disturbed, which is already a certainty since it was a construction site.

I believe the fact that they were building those houses when she dissapeared is a big reason they started looking at them.

As a builder, I always thought underneath a foundation slab would be a nearly foolproof spot to hide something forever.

Looks like a grave where they had the tarp the previous day.

I’d love to know what made them check that house. From above it sounds like 3 houses in there were theirs, and I’d imagine if they don’t find it there then it would be time to dig up the other two drive ways. Yuck!

I'll tell you this much... I don't know much about this case, but Shay McAlister is salt of the earth nice and a really good news reporter.
She has done a really good job covering this between her news reports and podcast.

Not to change the subject but the yard across the street really needs some work. It resembles Houck's property with the torn up driveway.

Back to the subject, I didnt know Shay existed until yesterday. She is phenomenal.

One of the items that has circulated pretty much since the beginning was that he had several houses in construction when she disappeared so this isn’t really surprising, just a little late I guess. That said something triggered it so maybe there is merit to this search.

^ Agree. it looks like a ditch was formed from gushing water that eroded the land. Homeowners need to drop $20 on gutter drains.

That would require the concrete company to assist. I doubt they would have asked a succontractor to do that.

Id love to be a fly in Brooks room right now, or the past few days.

Completely agree they are trying to scare the killer and that they may not have found something all that incriminating

I'm sure they didn't say "hey, um, I killed my girl and I have the ashes here. Can I mix them in the concrete?".
It may not be feasible. I really don't know. But you can pour concrete without a truck. It's not easy.

It takes a crucible of heat to burn a corpse to ash. Not a likely or plausible methodology to dispose the body.

Yes. I think we can all agree on that and move on.

Everyone: they didn't burn the body. Takes too much heat and can't mix it with concrete. That would require help. I'm wrong.

Per my quick google research, a bonfire can burn up a corpse. Teeth and all, just like a cremation.

If I get put on a watchlist, I blame you.

Watch, Making A Murderer on Netflix. EXPERTS explain in detail how difficult it is.

I've seen that.

Per the national cremation association or whatever the trade group is, 1400-1800 farenheit is ideal for roasting a corpse. Per science.com, a bonfire can get over 2000 farenheit.

The discussion wasn't about level of difficulty, it was about feasibility. Maybe the FBI found a tooth that didnt get broken down 🤷‍♂️

I did some checking. You're absolutely correct. It is possible to cremate a body in such a way. Not that difficult at all, really. A contractor could easily excavate the burn site and disperse the soil in a million different areas. Along with the ashes
