Police report

Note: Police interviewed mother 6 hours after body was found and after he sent the body to the funeral of his choice which embalmed the body prior to next of kin notification.  Although there was nothing left but a stump of the tree that Keith was found on, the police only took responsibility to cutting off the branch of the tree. How would you explain the remaining part of the tree disappearing? I wonder if the tree elves came and took the remaining part of the tree.
