First, the National Zoo has been roundly criticized in the past for animals dying mysteriously, and I believe it cost at least one Zoo director her job.
Second, an employee reported the suspicious activity and it is being investigated by authorities. This is being reported by news outlets because it's a story.
Third, it's easy to drown an kangaroo or, more accurately, a wallaby when it is secured in a crate...as appears to be the case here.
Finally, the washing the carcass before throwing in a dumpster simply does not pass muster. The director is obviously lying at this point.
