I’ve noticed that the route to finding the murderer often hinges on such seemingly ‘random’ factors - in this case the police cars called to a missing person inquiry blocking the way of the rubbish truck, which meant the torso the killer hid in the bin wasn’t taken away. Then a gust of wind caught the nose of one of the detectives and he smelled the unforgettable odour of decomposition, leading to that torso.
As it says at the end of the programme, without these ‘chance’ events, her disappearence would have probably gone unsolved and he would have got away with murder and clearly would have gone on to kill again.
Of course, it can be put down to sheer coincidence but personally it feels meaningful and more aligned to the Jung/Pauli theory of synchronicity.
Given that chance/causality can currently not be proven either way, it comes down to a subjective choice to believe one way or the other, and given this is the case, I like to believe I live in a universe of meaning, not one of random events.
