Exactly!
I agree with your summation and frustrations regarding the ending. It could've been a much tighter and believable one, considering the requirement of our suspension of disbelief.
The last scene creates a presumption that Peter/Simon's brother, Gabriel, was now miraculously resurrected. However, his body could have been moved by the trailer's keeper or someone else, as you mentioned. And the eager rookie - who doesn't need a warrant - becomes so blatantly more "rookie" that he doesn't wait for backup to secure the crime scene before he takes off? Puh-lease.
Regardless, it's ridiculous to assume that law enforcement would irresponsibly take so much time (what was that, days?) to reach the trailer after the young, travelling cop discovered and reported the dead body to his superiors, travelled back and shared an old photo of a certain priest, proceeded to find someone dead at a church, did more travelling and so forth, until the very end.
It seemed like a forced way to allow the film's last scene, of a mysterious disappearance, to indicate a potential resurrection. I imagine it could have still been accomplished using a refined timeline via stronger writing and direction.
As the credits began to roll, my eyes followed...
