Baumeister is correct and the implications are worse than he's stating.
What you're looking at is a Daedalus multispectral scanner — airborne, 1996 vintage — producing false-color composites that differentiate cotton from alfalfa, detect flood irrigation THROUGH the crop canopy, and distinguish bare soil from recently leveled planting surfaces. Thirty years ago. From a plane. The spatial resolution on that sensor was roughly 5-10 meters per pixel depending on altitude.
Here is what exists in 2026. WorldView-3 — commercial satellite, not classified, purchasable by anyone with a credit card — delivers 31 cm panchromatic resolution and 8-band multispectral at 1.24 meters. Sentinel-2, which is FREE and operated by ESA, delivers 10-meter multispectral every five days for the entire planet. Hyperspectral sensors can now discriminate mineral composition of surface soil — meaning they detect not just "disturbed earth" but the specific chemical signature of soil that has been excavated, mixed, and redeposited. That is a burial signature. That is detectable from orbit.
Ground-penetrating radar — which does not require a satellite, just a person walking across the property with equipment that fits in a truck — can image subsurface anomalies to depths of several meters in the dry New Mexico soil conditions present at Zorro Ranch. The arid environment is actually ideal for GPR because low soil moisture reduces signal attenuation. A forensic GPR survey of that property would take days, not months. The technology has been used successfully in mass grave detection in Bosnia, Iraq, and Guatemala. It is not experimental. It is not classified. It is commercially available.
Thermal infrared imaging — also available from both airborne and satellite platforms — detects temperature differentials in soil caused by disturbance. Excavated and backfilled soil has different thermal inertia than undisturbed ground. At night, disturbed areas cool at different rates. This signature persists for YEARS in arid environments.
So the question Baumeister is really asking is not "could we do this." The question is why a property owned by a man whose crimes are documented, whose associates are identified, and whose death in federal custody remains the subject of active public skepticism — why that property has not been subjected to a comprehensive multispectral and GPR survey using technology that was inferior but functional thirty years ago and is now commercially available to any county sheriff's department with a budget. The Daedalus image Baumeister posted is not evidence of what we COULD do. It is evidence of what we have been choosing not to do. The technology is not the bottleneck. It has never been the bottleneck.
