JayC16	20. RE: How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body? Nov 22 2008, 10:32 AM EST "What if he had a trunk that we did not see. He could have doubled the body over and sealed her in the trunk. He could have had a dolly and moved the trunk to a rented van. Then he could have driven to a deserted warehouse and set up a kill room as usual with supplies he purchased in Paris. Then after the bags were loaded in the van he could have already rented a boat and dropped dear old Lila off at sea. The timing, the planning, the expense, would be worth it. "Don't get caught!" Dexter is very good at details and I would think he would do everything he could in France to not leave any evidence. My guess anyway!" I don't know the geography of Paris too well. They may not have an ocean, but maybe there are large bodies of water somehwere near. But even so, I don't think that would have been his choice. I got the impression he had to catch a plane very soon, like within a few hours. This theory would have probably taken at least several hours. chop body; take to vehicle; drive to boat; take to boat; ride out to sea; ride back to vehicle; drive to airport. If he returned the boat and vehicle before the flight, lots more time spent. If he would have rented a car and boat under a false name, and just abandoned the boat and vehicle, it somehow questions arose about Lila, the boat and the vehicle, too many witnesses (at least the rental agents). He would have also avoided all those little possibilities. Chop body. Dispose on small bags throught chute, incinerator, or some other way right there in the building. Maybe simply in a dumpster. small bags, no suspicion. Post reply 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

Kill her, put her in a trunk, cart her off in a van, store her and fly home. No matter what method he could have used to dispose of the body he had to make contact with others to get on the airplane, and back. There are cameras everywhere if someone wanted to find him. If there was no reason to look then time would be on his side. As a tourist renting a van would be easy. Buying a few tools and bits of luggage is not going to draw attention to him. As long as the actual storage area was secure and he could contain the body odor all he needed was fake I.D. to seal the deal. Maybe he has a backup set of I.D.’s just in case. A lot of assumptions here but it could have worked. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
crocdundee	22. RE: How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body? Nov 22 2008, 8:59 PM EST "Maybe one sub plot where a group of friends and see Dex disposing of the bodies. Then Dex finds himself trapped and compromised by the group, but to Dexter's surprise they lend their services and become part of Dexter's Dark Avengers. This group would perform clandestined 'operations' santioned by Dexter, but not involving him in any way. If any of them gets caught, Dexter is not in the picture. etc. etc Then they branch out to high crime areas in the country, and eventually the world. Part of their code would be that if any one does a wrongful kill, uses the organization for personal reasons, or in any way jeopardizes the organization, they will be delt with. " I think you should patent that idea or at least get royalties when that shows up on screen. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

And another thing? sorry if this has been touched on before but where does dexter get all his money from? you know tickets to Paris(and i know the US$ is not travelling to well at the moment) buying Rita the car not too mention all those donuts,they can't be cheap! i know he doesn't steal from the victims and i wouldn't have thought he's bee on that great a salary or does he have a second income from somewhere?

Several thoughts. His bio-dad left him the house which he sold. His salary should be pretty good based on his time on the job and his expenses based on his day to day living style which are pretty steady and too not outlandish. I would estimate his salary is in the $70k to $80 range at a minimum. Based on local police salaries here in southern California, a mid-range officer like a sergeant can make well over a $100k a year with overtime. He's not a sworn officer and he lives in Florida but his specialty is fairly unique and it's been said on the show that he is the best in Florida if I remember correctly.

Those guys do make a really good salary. I have a relative that does something similar and she's doing really well. They tend to get a lot of overtime as they get called out on cases all of the time. Also, like Mike said, he did have a house that he sold, but he does seem to live pretty frugally for the most part. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

She knew a Sheriff and he told her about the job. She took some classes at night school & finally got in for an interview & made it. You have to be really interested in the work and really dedicated. It's not an easy thing to do. Plus that, you get called out in the middle of the night & weekends...crime never stops! Post reply 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

mike91848	31. RE: How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body? Nov 23 2008, 10:20 PM EST I think Dexter took Lila to the local cemetery and just simply buried her in a freshly dug grave. I don't know where I got this idea from but hey, maybe they should use this idea for the Dexter show. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Tiger-10-8_1	34. RE: How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body? Nov 30 2008, 1:50 PM EST He's a cop and he tracked her through her passpotr, he alredt knew she liked Pais and he knew that she had a bad habit of killing people by burning them. She told it how her boyfriend had died in a fire. Whwn shw set fire to her own apt. he knew what she was. He didn't hide her body at all, he stabbed her and left her where she was.He took the picture of Doakes and we know what she did to him. Had to catch a a commuter flight back to the States,takes about 4or5 hrs.if I recall ,except for wind conditions. He has more than one way to get a fake passport and it doesn't take much to change your appearence,to the point where people look right through you and don't see you. The greatest assassins in the world(the Jackal,not his real name, but real enough, is one of them)do the same thing.Dex has technology on his side. What is one more dead tourist to the French police. they have a crime rate that has more important things to deal with.Hope this makes sense to somebody.I remember the epi well and he did not take a souveni.Told her he was sorry but it had to be.Tiger Post reply 4 out of 4 found this valuable.

polarstorm	35. RE: How Did Dexter Find Lila? and what did he do with her body? Jan 9 2009, 11:28 PM EST Hi, I don't have cable, I just finished watching seasons 1 and 2 back to back over the course of 1 week on DVD.. I'm hooked. He knew her real name once he found out from her sister that she was a fake. He used her real name as a search criteria against a departures database because Lila didn't have time to concoct a new passport, since she found out about the bag and Dex's intentions, she only had time to focus on the arson, hence she could only use her real name and passport. As for the body, in the bag, that was a Dex signature imprint, to be left on purpose, Dex was not about to walk up and down the streets of Paris to dispose of any body, especially pressed for time (people are wondering where he is by now, back in Fl, i.e. the kids, cause his sister is off in the west coast at this time), and he's got to catch a flight back (especially if this was a covert trip). The signature will prompt questons of Dex wannabes being found outside of the US. No real reason to hide the body. After all, there are more bodies to come.. The real question is what did Lila do with the set of tools that had Dex's imprints (if it did in fact have them), my guess if she mailed them into the station.. but they won't have fingerprints, so she will be just thought of, as a loonie arsonist. p.s. Love Dex's boat name. If the FBI investigators were so smart, how come they didn't clue in... p.s. Lila was a hot kill! Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
