Honestly, I have not heard of any other searches happening, especially with anyone in the community not with LE. In addition, I have not heard of any searches performed by LE either. This is a small town and if someone saw a group of people searching, especially in uniform or giving the appearance of being official, then I would think that news would get around. There is still one area that I know needs to be searched and I'm sure the newly formed search group (which I am going to try and be a part of) from Sunday's gathering will search there because we had previously talked about it. However, we don't really have the resources to do some searching. The area I am thinking of is a swampy area and besides taking some fishing boats out there, I don't think any of us have the equipment to get deeper in the water.
(I'm going to go into detail here, so excuse me....) Since some of you have dealt with these kinds of things, maybe you can answer. Could anyone tell me what the rate of decomposition/condition of a body after being submerged in water approximately two months prior? If this is a possibility, like many others, then would a boat's fish tracker see anything underwater or would a body be floating? (I'm not trying to be insensitive, just need to know some things...) I don't know if LE have gone this deeply into their searches, I would hope so, especially since the FBI is assisting with the investigation. I have not heard of any cadaver or rescue dogs either, but that doesn't mean that they haven't been utilized. Klaas Kids did not seem to be in town long, maybe they couldn't be of use? Not sure on the reasoning for that... twinmom, do you know?
