I lived at the 4200 South block of Perry Park Rd, just moments away from the search area (same side of the road as the search area). I'll say, this is surreal to imagine this in my own front yard.
There are a few members asking about the location, and I'll share my best description of this unique landscape. The search is on the east side of the road, on the west side of the road is a mountain range. There is a rough mountain road entrance ,rampart range road, which has basically zero cell service, and is a popular 4x4 and hiking area. On the east side of the road, past the search area is a large geographical mesa (plateau), with very steep and heavily wooded terrain... the soil is easily erroded with heavy rains and snow melt. There are mountain lions in the area.
And there are several luxurious homes, which have gates and cameras. My home had a guard house and 24/7 security monitoring, and this was 12 years ago. I can almost certainly guarantee there is video footage that supported the search location.
Welcome, @MrsDawson. Your local perspective is greatly appreciated. It's not every day we have "a front porch view" of an area being searched. It is so reassuring to know there may be several surveillance systems in the area that may have recorded valuable information. We're glad to have you here with us and hope you will continue to join in the conversations.
