the wife should be his second wife. The killer is the cousin of the stepmother of the boy. Police should investigate the father for leaving his son in such an unnatural and dangerous situation.

"very low" and "tiny" are not amounts that can be compared with anything.

i agree with Osakadaz. Artificial reefs created by dumping subway cars have helped restore fish populations in the eastern seaboard of the US. There's too many things to recycle and too little fuel to do the job.

doing the math leads to 3000 unidentified bodies. No mention of a DNA database to match victims to relatives... Even from a toothbrush can sufficient DNA be extracted for a match, but unfortunately in this case the homes have also been destroyed.

So many people did not have time to evacuate, and are buried undeneath the rubble, so its not as simple as scoop and swoop. They have to remove the debris carefully.
In WTC Ground Zero there were countless issues of debris being dumped into landfills without first sorting for human remains, and this caused a lot of controversy.
There should be separate crews removing the easiest types of debris first, such as vehicles, metals and wood. Mud may be contaminated so it may not be recycled so easily.

You cannot be "arrested" if you are already in custody. However, you could be arraigned on additional charges.
