I'm glad the FBI are involved. The perps can't be allowed to get away with this. I can't imagine what it would be like if this happened in my neighbourhood, much less to my family.According to FB page the family is still searching and waiting for results from FBI lab.
I am not counting on it. They went missing in January. When the weather is perfect until April/May. Still not much searching going on then...I'm hoping the search efforts will increase when it cools down. It's been a very hot and humid summer. Difficult to get many searchers out there under those conditions.
The Mcfalls daughter-in-law posted on Jerry and Susan's FB page that she was investigating a tip she had received in regards to a road sign: Tooele 8. She and others went to Tooele Utah as the most logical place to search but couldn't find a specific sign that matched that description.
The Mcfalls family keeps on searching but no results.
Agree wholeheartedly with your post! I'm not sure I could do the same, either, but if I were able to, I darn well know I wouldn't be able to face this with the equanimity and positivity these folks show. Bless them!It's such an intimidatingly vast area to have to search, and this possible Tooele lead makes it feel even more like a needle in a haystack. (Or in all the haystacks everywhere. Or worse, like a few grains of dust in the desert.) A Tooele reference takes the case into the general area of the Breezy Otteson & Riley Powell case, which is eerie considering the 2 couples disappeared only 10 days apart. Apparently the POI in the McFalls case used to live in Tooele. I wonder if he and the people charged in the Breezy & Riley case have any connection? It seems unlikely that there would be a substantive link between the 2 cases, but it's unsettling that 2 couples from 2 tiny towns in a sparsely populated region, one very young and one retired, should both vanish within days of each other.
It's also discouraging to imagine all the mine shafts between Littlefield and Tooele County – and the slot canyons, caves, and other hidden terrain. It would seem that if foul play is suspected in the McFalls' disappearance there's little reason to think they would be found near the surface. After 8 months in the high desert, you also have to wonder whether wildlife and weather have eliminated or dispersed any remains that might once have existed.
I commend the family's persistence in plowing forward to search and seek justice for this couple. I don't think I could do the same in these circumstances.
The same thought crossed my mind.
And the plot thickens. Wonder if there is a history of a neighborly dispute.
New info. The tv was left on. Seven weeks ago the neighbor shot Jerry in the stomach with a bb gun!!!
Search on for Littlefield couple last seen about 2 weeks ago
Good catch! Did you send it in?I'm not sure it makes sense for them to have been hidden in Tooele, UT given the distance: Google Maps
However, one thing I found is a hiking trail/horseback riding trail in Tooele that is 8 miles long: http://www.tooelecountytrails.com/images/print pdfs/tooelevalleyoverlookprintablemap.pdf
Did the suspect have access to horses?
It feels like the family was sent on a wild goose chase though...![]()

I don’t have any connections, unfortunately. Hopefully someone here does and can pass it along.No. If you know who to contact flute, please feel free to let them know about that trail. I feel like it's possibly a wild goose chase, however. My heart goes out to the family.![]()
