MGS imaged Spirit's parachute(s), why can't it image Beagle's chute too?

If MGS has "before and after" high-resolution images
of the SUSPECTED Beagle-2 landing-site (I've read about
assumptions that it landed in a large crater) then it
stands to reason that if MGS can image the Beagle-2
parachute, and separated heat-shield, then some
basic engineering assumptions can be made:
that it didn't burn up.
that its chute successfully deployed.
that its heat-shield was properly jettisoned....
Narrowing down "what happened" by process of ellimination.
