Some of you that put forth the serial killer or random killing scenario seem to forget that Chandra researched the Kringle Mansion area on her computer prior to going there. Why would she do that if she was not going to meet someone. As far as the search dogs go, the searchers were aware of the computer search Chandra had done, that is why they went to that specific area to search. For the body to be found 1 mile from the mansion at this late date implies that the body was dumped AFTER the search took place...here is info on search dogs:

Resourceful canine handlers have found that dogs can be trained to detect human remains long after death., despite burial or attempted concealment. Trained dogs are able to distinguish between human remains, animal remains, and a wide range of other odors that would normally be expected to distract them. Thus, their ability to distinguish between sources of similar biological odors enhances their application in the area of Human Remains detection (HRD)...Bodies buried, disarticulated bodies, bodies submerged in water, or hidden in vehicles or structures have been efficiently located by HRD teams.

Cadaver dogs are trained to use their powerful sense of smell to locate a missing body. The dogs can do this because as a dead body decomposes it gives off gasses with a distinct smell. The dogs are taught to recognize and alert to this smell, even in very small concentrations, and to follow the smell to its source. The gasses will even rise through the earth from a buried body, or up through the water from a drowning victim.

Humans shed millions of microscopic skin cells (called rafts) on a continual basis. As a person moves along, these particles leave an invisible trail that is detectable to a dog. Some fall to the ground or catch on blades of grass, trees, or other obstacles, while some are carried along on air currents. The closer the dog is to the 'victim' the more concentrated this trail becomes.

while I understand your Points, I have counter arguments.

Today they said the park made up 30% of DC, 30% is an awfully lot of ground to cover. They also said the park was 3Xs bigger then Central Park in NY,City. IF the body was buried on the side of a steep incline, Then covered with brush then how could anyone find it. (Please also note.. that part of the park, so far as I heard was searched by foot.. not by Dog)If it was coverd by Dogs, Could wind play a part in that at all? (question as I don't know) Why haven't the dog's picked up her scent at all to get to that spot?

They also gave Scenarios this Morning that Lots of homeless people lived around their and there could have been all sorts of orders there. They also said for the amount of people that walk in a park, Homeless, Kids, joggers ect that it still took a year to find her.

As far as the website on her Computer Could be she wanted to A) Explore new areas. Perhaps she wasn't sure of direction of the mansion? B) where there any emails found on her computer as to who of IF she was meeting anyone? C) If it was a "HIT" I'm more apt to believe they would have never found her. D) IF the body was moved at that location after her killing, why bring all her belongs there and dump/and or bury them with her? It would be leaving around More Evidence. If the counter argument you give for that is.. Well to make us think she was killed by a serial killer.. or just a mugger ect.. to throw us off so to say.. Why not strip her down and leave Nothing. Please also note that she wasn't robbed as her ring and walk-man were both found at the scene.

Its much to sloppy to be a hit of any sort IMO. It would be safer for the perpetrator to play like Jimmy Hoffa and have her always Missing.

If it was a random rape/killing this type of disposing of the body would coincide.

I also have questions as to if she was dating or seeing any other people? She was young and single. Anyway.. those are just my Speculation. I suppose we will all have to stay tuned and wait for more evidence to be revealed!!

God bless
