Hi Randi,

Think of Bureau 39's search of the Irig farm. Anything can happen.

If there were a missing person report and the police brought out dogs, they could alert on thr scent of decay and ask some rather embarrassing questions with the potential of compromising a secret identity or two.

Best to avoid that by preventing decay in the first place.
