Kansas City Question: Why Didn't Police Find Shooting Spree Suspect's Body???

Short answer . . . His place was an EPIC dump. 

Here are more deets . . . 

"Investigators from several law enforcement agencies, including K-9 units and fire department resources, searched the home over the course of more than a week. Police say the basement was inaccessible for a period of time during the search.

"Police say Independence officers reported seeing Sanchez-Munoz barricading himself in the basement during a standoff at the home. A separate standoff at another location is not believed to be connected to the case.

"When investigators issued a public bulletin asking for help locating Sanchez-Munoz, Becchina said they believed all survivable areas of the home had already been checked. It's believed the body had been in the home since the standoff."

Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins said on Thursday that the dog’s alert was pointed at the flooded basement of the home and this information was shared with lead investigators before leaving the scene."
