I don't get why they would be that worried about reporters. The entire county only has about 7500 people. How many reporters could there be on a federal holiday weekend!? I don't think that "decoy" hearse was a decoy at all.

Yeah, the El Paso hearse was the second hearse though? I assumed the 'decoy' led the reportER to Alpine.
I don't know that though. I was trying to find that, just now. I did see that only the LA Times had the decoy story from a guy named 'George E. Van Etten.' He is PR for the Ranch!
Weird, right there, to me. Ranch PR is feeding this story, not law enforcement or someone official?
But it is not clear where that decoy hearse went.
I also see that it was a VAN (not a hearse) that delivered Scalia's body to El Paso. So, it sounds like it's anyone's guess, right now, where the decoy hearse went.
I would think a decoy hearse would not be sent from a fake place to the real funeral home if it was meant to throw off reportER. *lol*

Van Etten is the Ranch Manager.
Didn't an SUV leave with the hearse, as well?

The Pope's personal secretary was just found dead in mysterious circumstances similar in manner to the death of Justice Scalia.
Well now. This is curious
Mysterious death of Pope Francis aide alarms Vatican
Pope Francis’s secretary, 34-year-old Miriam Wuolou of Eritrea, was found dead earlier this week — and the Vatican is calling foul.
Wuolou’s body was discovered in her Rome apartment by police after her brother raised concern that she wasn’t answering her phone. She was seven months pregnant and suffered from diabetes, which can prove dangerous — even fatal — during pregnancy.
The Vatican, however, has called for an investigation into the woman’s death. Police have interviewed her brother, her ex-husband and her most recent boyfriend, who is believed to be a policeman employed by the Vatican, the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reports.
Investigators will also perform a DNA test on Wuolou’s fetus to determine the paternity of the unborn child.

This is probably a bit off-topic, but I find it odd that they would deny Justice Scalia an autopsy but go all-out for one for the Pope's secretary. Why???
She was young and with child. I'm just surprised the Vatican is crying foul over it.

Getting back to Justice Scalia....Something just occurred to me.
When the sheriff made a list of items on his incident report I didn't see any mention of a laptop or a cell phone. I can see Scalia not taking his laptop if he's planning on relaxing and unplugging, but his phone? No one on any report made a mention of Scalia's cell phone. If I'm spending the night at a friend's house or at a hotel I always have my phone on the bedside table.
Doesn't someone important like him always have his phone with him?

That poor girl and her child! The church is dead set against killing a child in the womb and, yet, they don't think twice about killing to keep their secrets!!
Assassinating to keep their secrets is theocratic warfare, not murder, in their convoluted thinking, no doubt. They are disciples of God, not assassins...remember?

So why use a hearse from Alpine and not from Marfa? Marfa has a perfectly good funeral home that does embalming. Do they know someone in Alpine?
I'm going to put a scenario out there. If someone knows for a fact that Guevara never saw the body, please correct me. I mean, other than what was reported as stated.
Ok, so I am going back to that language Guevara said the U.S. Marshal used:
"It's not necessary for you to come, Judge. If you’re going to ask for an autopsy, that’s what we need to clarify."
I still think the Marshal said this:
"It's not necessary for you to come, Judge, if you’re going to ask for an autopsy. That’s what we need to clarify."
'They' built in this wiggle room to shift blame onto a miscommunication if backlash warranted a shift of blame.
MAYBE Guevara did go see the body. And maybe she felt like an autopsy was warranted from what she saw. But the Marshals nixed that idea...so she wanted to leave without anyone knowing she had been there...in the decoy hearse. Sent on her way back to Alpine in that hearse.
That way, if anything came up and someone reported something unusual about the body at a later time, she could simply say she never saw the body and took the word of the U.S. Marshal that all was kosher and it looked like natural causes.
That's one possible scenario.

The photo with SUV and hearse is obviously "the decoy".

Can I just rant for a second?
Does anybody else want to scream: "What better/more convenient conservative SCOTUS justice to OFF than the one with the age and health conditions of Scalia? What easier target to NOT raise unsurmountable questions than him?"
His frigging health issues just make me more skeptical.
The Texas death certificate for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will list myocardial infarction — a heart attack — as the official cause of death, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told WFAA on Sunday.
