Hanging a man while alive takes help.
Hanging a man while dead also takes help (or at least a mechanical advantage).
Duct tape on hands, feet, mouth, and neck?
Died of asphyxiation? From the tape, maybe? And then transported and hung?
One thing for sure: If you are hiding an illegal operation, whether pot, meth, or shine, and a fed stumbles across it, you SSS.
...something else is in play, and I suspect it is EXACTLY what it appears to be: Someone was informed, capable, pissed off, fed up, and acted out in a tragic way. After the initial reaction/action, they enlisted help from like-minded friends and sent a message.
THAT is why the FBI kept this under wraps as long as they could (11 days?).
...to be a fly on the wall...
