It was headlines for 30 days straight.

Her body bore torture marks, and her mouth was cut ear to ear into a hideous grin.

Yeah, we're not cutting in the vertical plane.

We're cutting in the horizontal plane, which means across the body.

If you just think about where your umbilicus is, your navel cut inferior to that area all the way across the body.

The interesting thing about the incision, that particular incision, Nancy, is that the margins are what are referred to.

And this is the reason Hodel is making this comment.

The margins are very neat and clean.

So this gives you an indication that this wasn't a standard butchery type of event.

This is something that would have taken time.

It would have taken a certain amount of skill.

And also going back to dismemberment, Nancy, these cases that we've seen both in practice and in covering in the news, it requires privacy.

It requires a location that you can go to where no one else is going to see you.

And it takes time.

So you have to have time with the body alone.

And the body has been prepped here.

We have to think about that.

There were reports where they were talking about that her body had actually been cleaned, Nancy, washed down, those sorts of things.

And even in one bit that I read at some point in time, part of her bowels were actually tucked beneath the body.

So this is somebody that not only felt comfortable in a private space with her doing this to her, but also out there at that scene and laying her out, I guess, in the early morning hours where you could run the risk of being caught or being seen out there.
