Just to be safe, we should shoot silver bullets at tinyE.

Edit: Y'know, how ironic would it be if he shows up on this thread (he usually never opens any of my "Puzzlemaster" threads) just because we're talking about him?
Legend has it, if you figure out his real name and say it in the mirror 10 times, he throws a shoe at you and tells you to go back to bed because it's 1 A.M. and he's trying not to scare the deer since they're so hard to hit when moving.

After reading your votes and opinions I'd have to vote for the evidence from the defendant's house.

Although the evidence from the car it's a close second. I can't really put it in first if we don't know if the car can be associated with the defendant in any way.

If the Laundry analysis is being presented by the defense then I don't see much use in it.

Yes, thank you. Another sane person, like me.

Good observation. I'd been inclined to go with the laundry, but there's no reason to think a defense analysis will be complete or even necessarily accurate.

I'm going to go with...the house. no, the car. No, the field.

I'm a bit curious which search gives us the location of the car - evidence from car or evidence from house. Likely it was parked at the house (exterior or garage, presumably not interior house). Also curious which direction the body was being dragged.

Given eMachine's very helpful timeline, the suspect would have had to drive home, start laundry, and then drag the body out into the field. Though why he'd not just drive out into the field IDK. Also doesn't make much sense to start laundry if you're just going to go back out and drag a bloody body through a field.

I'm down to House/Field, I think.

Guy has lived in the same place for many years, had the same wife for many years and did the same job for many years.

Suddenly the wife leaves. Maybe she also took their money with her and now the guy finds himself in a bad financial situation.

In hopes of gathering more information for this theory, I vote for Evidence from Defendant's House

Alright, alright, I'm awake. Stop shining lights in my eyes, please!

OK, I'm gonna come at this real slow-like. Just because.

1. Evidence Secured in the Field.
What kind of evidence could we find in the field? Blood stains? The money? Maybe a little journal saying that Whitemane was planning to rob a bank? Doesn't seem particularly useful to me.

2. Autopsy Report.
Again, how is this useful? I assume that the guard isn't lying, so do we have any doubt that this is the fellow shot trying to rob the bank?

4. Laundry Analysis.
As said above, the laundry went on before the robbery went off, so I don't see any point to this. I'm inclined to think it's a red herring. That or the guy has a really crazy-fast laundry machine. 0_o

5. Evidence from the Defendant's House.
I'm inclined to think this might be useful. Maybe we'll find money, or letters, or who knows what else. But I have to say that my first choice is

3. Evidence from the Car
If the car we're talking about is the car used for the getaway, then this should be really useful information to know. So that's the evidence I want to see the most.

Or maybe she didn't leave at all - maybe she's buried IN THE HOUSE!

Or perhaps more likely, she killed her husband and is dressed up as him, and the dead robber was her BF. Think about it.

1) Evidence that indicates where the intent was to bury the body vs. the alternative hypothesis that he discovered it in the field and was dragging it back to the house. What direction was the body being dragged? Toward the house or away? Was there a shovel/hole? Perhaps the money is there.

2) I agree - unless there's some surprise, this seems like the least fruitful path to start.

Well, okay, yes, UNLESS the report shows claw marks. :D

You sure you're not just swayed by your own name?

Yes, any of those would make a man fear for his wife. Life! Fear for his life.

Gentlemen! The trial is about a robbery not the MURDER! STICK TO THE CASE AT HAND! FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE!

Oh, but is it really? You never know, they could be on to something.
...or they're just babbling like idiots. I always find it hard to tell the difference, myself, especially considering I usually have these same types of conversations with my own brain.

Well, MOST of them are just babbling like idiots. Not me though. I'm on to something...

Fun fact: I once played a game of 20 Questions with a friend, and for my first question, just outright asked "Is it a cow?" and won.
