Battler finds every single body except Kanon's and finds that it is impossible to even gain entry to the place Kyrie told him Kanon's body was located in Alliance; isn't that odd, given every other body is exactly where she said it was in exactly the apparent manner she said it was?

She doesn't even have to posit Shkanon as a solution to this, she just has to address the obvious importance of Shannon and/or Kanon to each episode's narrative. She can't simply dismiss the whole Kanon thing as "Rosa did it and was just throwing suspicions on Kanon!" without explaining what happened to him and how he appeared to return from the dead. Even if she denies any of it happened and was all lies to make the servants suspects, it would have drawn Erika's attention to those servants and the fact that they are clearly up to something. Something she's obligated to explain if the game is even remotely fair and the story even remotely reasonable.
I don't really think the game is fair... and she ignores the servants anyway.
Even when she was trying to pin Natsuhi in Kinzo's study she never said anything about the servants trying to support her in her lies.

She knows Kinzo is already dead and therefore the servants are accomplices in at least keeping alive the illusion he's still living but... she doesn't care at all.

The one she wants to pin is Natsuhi. The servants could as well not exist.
