CORRUPTION: What happened to Grant Solomon?

This week's episode features Aolani Santiago, from "Stories from the Mortuary" podcast, who goes into detail about more inconsistencies with Grant's body and the medical/accident report; plus the shady handlings of the funeral home where Grant was held.

RECONSTRUCTION OF GRANT'S TIRES BY A LISTENER:
"The reports mention the tires were at around a 90° angle but upon my observation it looks that the tires were at a 30° angle. My father has the same truck and when I turn the wheels to match the picture it looked to be around 30 to 40 degrees.
The mathematics that I calculated DID NOT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENT as shown below:

To determine the radius of the path created by a vehicle with its wheels turned at 30° to the right and rolling backward for a distance of 60 ft, we can use some basic trigonometry.

First, let's consider the turning angle of 30°. This angle represents the angle between the direction the wheels are facing and the direction the vehicle is moving. To find the radius, we need to determine the distance from the center of the turning circle (which is where the axis of rotation would be if the vehicle was turning) to the point where the wheels touch the ground.

To calculate this, we can use the tangent function, as the tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. In this case, the opposite side is the radius we want to find, and the adjacent side is the distance between the wheel and the center of the turning circle.

Let's assume the distance between the wheels (known as the wheelbase) is W. Then the adjacent side can be calculated using trigonometry as follows:

Adjacent side = (W/2) / tan(30°)

Now, we can calculate the radius of the turning circle. Since the radius is half of the wheelbase, we have:

Radius = (W/2) / tan(30°)

RESULT: 
If you are at a 30° wheel angle radius traveling backwards at 60 ft that would put you at a 30° radius. That means the truck did not go straight back and had to have been parked on the grass 30 ft to the side. That's the only way I could roll backwards at that angle. "

In terms of the VEHICLE actually moving in the ditch:
" When I took my vehicle out of PARK/Reverse when I left, I noticed that it was slightly difficult to change gears because of the incline. This leads me to believe that the only way that the vehicle could have held backwards is if somebody put their foot on the brake and pulled on the gear shifter with intent- this means it would be very difficult to change gears and for the car to roll if it was in PARK. When you are flat it's easy to change gears but not when I was in that parking lot."
