Of course! Who doesn’t decide that they would rather sleep in a car the moment their significant other goes missing? It’s just to get away from the press and the house where you had all those memories! And of course you’ll start researching crime scene analysis and cleaning methods right after she goes missing as well, because you know you’re the number one suspect, and you just want to help find the guy that did this.
The real killer is out there! And Hans and O.J. are on the case!
Seriously though. If this isn’t suspicious behavior, what would characterize as obviously suspicious behavior from a suspected murder?

Well, this depends a lot on what kind of people you spend your time with. I know at least two people in my circles (let me put it this way: they both slightly schizophrenic traits) about whom I would not be surprised if they came up with such ideas.
I guess I have a light tendency to gravitate towards smart mavericks in my social life. :-)

That argument is self contradictory since you justify their behavior by invoking their specific and out of ordinary mental traits, which reinforces the idea that removing a passenger seat car to sleep directly on the floor is not reasonable, normal or expected.
You're being very unfair to my argument and implying that I think the poster is innocent.
Maybe I was unfair to you as well; if so, I apologize.
The reason I brought up that he might've been in the process of installing a flat surface was that your comment mentioned that attempting to sleep in your car without installing a flat surface would be too uncomfortable.
It's completely reasonable for me to, for example, want to convert my car and be in process of determining:
1. Is it reasonable to sleep on a bumpy surface? Let me try it out for a couple of night first. 2. Know that a bumpy surface is uncomfortable, and be in the process of figuring out a solution, e.g. what to buy.
Of course, in this specific case, those are irrelevant because Hans Reiser never intended to sleep in his car. But, they are perfectly valid reasons why one might remove a car seat without then immediately having converted it to a comfortable bed.
