Cow shit doesn't dissolve bones
Good Point. If anything you'd think Cow Shit might even cause additional bones to grow. Mrs. Mess might be lucky Mr. Mess was found as soon as he was, more bones grow she could have caught a charge on more than just the one murder.
Likely stationing that cow as an obvious Guard of the dung pile, (as shown in scottcarter's post above), was a dumb move. Total Giveaway that theres something she wanted to conceal within the dung pile plus Cows are
terrible guards of anything and completely useless altogether in a Policing capacity. Its why you never hear the term "WatchCow" or see Cow-9 cop cars instead of K-9. :toast:
