Video at the link of him driving slowly by. I'm thinking they may be sifting for components of a smashed phone or Switch controller?

This seems extremely likely. IMO

I just saw that along with this--

Media not allowed further up right now, but right behind this car crews are putting buckets of snow through a sifter as a part of the search for #GannonStauch. Looks like they are trying to find smaller pieces of evidence that could be clumped in the snow.pic.twitter.com/EEwZAWWuk3

When I saw they were sifting I felt ill; my gut reaction is that they are looking for human tissue and bone fragments. Hope I’m very wrong.

How would Gannon be reduced to mere human tissue and bone fragments in such a short time?

“Found property” refers to things various people have found and called in as tips...probably not connected to this case. They were simply saying what types of tips have been called in.

 

[Justmythough]

I understand that. My point was that it did come from the Sheriff.

EBM..

I find it interesting that they listed the types of tips they're receiving. They haven't done that before now.

 

[squareandrabbet]

I’m still ten pages behind but I see they are sifting snow today!

Yeah... I don't like that.

It seems to me that no matter how it's looked upon, going from full-body discovery tools to sieving, when no body has yet been discovered, is not an improvement.

Locals.... would snow plows have run on this part of Hwy 105 any time between his disappearance and when they first started searching this location?

 

[sleepysleuth]

Those are low to the ground. wonder if they might be evidence markers.

That's what I'm wondering - google shows me that there are actually evidence flags out there - not sure how commonly they are used.

EBM..

I guess it's not important that I understand the point, lol.

THREE WEEKS WITHOUT GANNON: We are seeing a huge Law enforcement presence sifting through dirt, putting up yellow flags and focusing on the same spot they were digging into Saturday in South Douglas County. I am speaking with someone close to Gannon’s family tonight at 4 and 5pm

I have to say - if I was hypothetically involved in the disappearance of my stepson and I saw that many FBI agents and trucks that said FBI Evidence Response Team on the side, I'd be crapping my pants.

Unless they’re in the wrong area due to false info. Ugh.

Please no.

ABC is an entertainment site? I thought it was national news?

It is.

If you scrub thru the video, you can see taller yellow flags too.

Dear GordianKnot,

I couldn't agree more.

Now, I have a question for you all, and thanks in advance for your answers!

Even with the snow falling, would the authorities put up a large tarp or tent on top of where they are sifting so that they can continue?

I'm envisioning a very large tent canopy- we've seen these in other investigations.

Perhaps something large enough to cover over them and that strip of snow they are working on?

They are probably more worried about plowed snow burying their work area. At the least, I think they would push snow only to the opposite side of the road (not the normal plowing technique). But I could also see tents or tarps being used, much easier than removing and sifting more snow.

maybe shotgun? Speculative NB

 

[oviedo]

This seems to be very serious IMO - many days - sifting snow - like some of you - I'm thinking it's the switch too.

I think LE's working furiously in that area today in an effort to get out ahead of the weather front moving in…
I think this is about trying to beat the next snowfall more than anything else.

The flurry of LE activity is an effort to beat the flurry of powder that's forecast to be headed that way.

LE's battling both the clock, and Mother Nature, right now.

Unfortunately, both of those foes are intractable.

It's all hands on deck.

JMO.

Hopefully more than that.
Late afternoon Friday searchers zeroed in on that access road with a covered gated between two berms 90ft north of Sierra Pines Lane. Two FBI techs fully suited in their gray "hazmat" evidence retention suits were there and using a red spotlight light.
So hopefully it is yielding something.
MOO Red light seems to be for gunshot residue, teeth, bone and don't know what else.
Good luck search team.

I sure hope so. All that hard work, just to watch it get buried beneath the snow again...hoping they put up tents. Though that will get the rumor mills running like crazy as well. Prepare for a firestorm of craziness either way.
I hope so much this is something big to bring Gannon home.

Oh, I'm sure, but doubtful the night of his disappear because of lack of snowfall. LE would be able to get a schedule from CDOT (or whoever does the plowing for the state).

I don’t want to say this but we have a large presence of mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, scavenger birds and they can reduce a deer carcass to bones in short order. I doubt this is the case because I think the animal activity might have been noticed (we always know when a deer has died on our property because of the birds).

I’m hoping they’re sifting for other types of evidence.

MOO
