I heard later on about no internet access and burning trash. I also read
that the compound was located in a densely populated, almost urban area.

Maybe someone will learn from all this (if all this is genuine) that too
much isolation will make you stand out.

An an aside, and this is really off-topic, burning trash instead of
putting out for pickup is a standard and careful procedure in areas
where garbage pick up is not an alternative reliably available. To say
the least.
