For someone who apparently researched this extensively and tried to cover up his heinous crime, it looks like Garland will have failed badly in his attempt.

For someone that was trying to be really careful and well planned using his own truck was a big mistake. It was easily identified and brought the cops to his place within a couple days. If he had a generic rental truck he probably would have had a few more days to clean things up at the farm. The job of the police would have been much tougher if his sister didn't tip them off about the truck. I think that initially the police mentioned there was a few hundred people that attended the estate sale. That would be a lot of people who could be potential suspects (ie. Casing the house to return later for a robbery.) I would have thought that using a rental car/stolen car would be covered in murder 101.
