     No.  Desmond didn't return to the trailer park alone "for" the
     Blue Rose - i.e., to find one.  Blue Rose refers to a TYPE of
     case, not an objective.
     Whatever the flower symbolism is of a Blue Rose, the name probably
     originated from Project Bluebook, of which Cole was probably a high
     ranking member - so were Major Briggs and Windom Earle.
     When Bluebook folded, finding that UFOs were hoaxes, Cole, Briggs
     and Earle continued to investigate happenings in the American
     Northwest, looking not to space, but to the forests, the ground,
     etc.  The mythology of the local native people seemed to be
     real, alive, active, and killing some people.
     Cole may be the leader of this covert group of american intelligence
     officers/agencies - and his classification for these type of cases,
     kept in the STRICTEST secret (so strict he only communicates these
     cases to his pool of agents in elaborate code), is "Blue Rose."

     Desmond didn't follow a straight line of deduction from Deputy
     Howard's trailer to Teresa's to the Chalfont (Tremond) trailer
     to oblivion (or wherever).
     He had already been to Teresa's trailer.  The park manager
     pointed out that another lawman - Deputy Howard - lived in this
     park.  Desmond remembered Cole's code: drugs.  Teresa was on
     cocaine; Howard was dealing it.
     A vibe - not any of this - led him to walk toward the Chalfont
     trailer -- a feeling.  He bends down and sees the mound of dirt
     with the ring.
     Deputy Howard didn't move the ring, or touch it in any way: he
     would probably have disappeared with it if he had.
     Leland/BOB left the ring there in the mound of dirt after he 
     murdered Teresa, in the same way he left the necklace and
     paper with "Fire, Walk with Me" on the mound of dirt in the
     train car after killing Laura.
     Desmond touched the ring and vanished.  (To be seen again,
     presumably).
