I don't see how the killer could have walked a 3rd path exactly like either the 1st or 2nd. It's bound to have varied, unless he used the road as a marker.
I don't know....it just seems like a huge amount of time (1.5 hours) to spend walking back and forth to & from Keith's car to create scent trails. It would have been a lot easier and quicker for him to have parked the car closer to the Indian Field Creek bridge; that's where the trails led, anyway--assuming Keith and Cassandra walked there.
What would be the use of false scent trails? How would it have benefitted the killer? Even if he wanted to fool the investigators, it seems to me that creating scent trails would be unnecessary. The reason: he already did something with Keith and Cassandra--something that we don't know about decades later. He already likely knew they'd be difficult to find; that's why he did things as he did. Investigators were already A scent trail created by carrying clothing a total of 3 miles would not have been helpful to the killer, I think.
The killer most likely staged the car and when he left, there was no way to know where or which way he went. The dogs were only made to follow Keith's and Sandra's scents. Maybe if the dogs were made to pick up a scent from the driver's seat and steering wheel, they might have been able to follow the killer's trail, if he drove the car and parked it there.
I believe the killer took off on a boat since the dogs wanted to enter the water, then were placed on boats and continued to follow the trail 70 yards out into the river.
I understand what you're saying. I just think that for the killer to have parked a mile from where he may have had his boat would have just been illogical (not to say the killer wasn't illogical, just that that action would surely have been.)
I also think that the killer used a boat and that he somehow had it under the Indian Field Creek bridge.... because of the trails the dogs picked up. Because of the trails and the probability of the killer having used a boat, I think that it would have not made sense for him to have parked Keith's car, and that far away, and walk back and forth, dropping off Keith's and Cassandra's various personal belongings.
