"through omission"? I thought the parellel construction concept involves coming up with an explicit fake story about how some unrelated thought process happened to take the investigtion in a direction which ended up uncovering the evidence in question.

The whole point of it is to avoid telling the court and defense about unconstitutional search procedures that were used, i.e. omitting them.
