Police saw d leaving; did investigatory stop (even though lacked rs); found warrant for arrest, did sia and found meth: evidence d wants to suppress: drugs. D argues statement and body should be suppressed: held: police would have legally found the body anyway. Massive hunt going on, so police would have found it even w/o illegal interrogation. Examples of fpt, independent source, attenuation, inevitable discovery. Case #1: police enter warehouse w/o warrant, see a chart w/ a lot of people involved in drug network and see a name that is new to them (mary).
