I'm also willing to travel to the area and do some searching for Steven Pearsall in the region around Kendrick. If somebody could give me a decent idea of what areas were likely searched already that'd be appreciated. I believe that if Pearsall wasn't dumped in the river, that he was likely dumped somewhere along that same route as K&B were found on in 1984. I think searching that stretch of Highway is the best chance we have of finding Pearsall's remains.
LV would have almost certainly have disposed of the bodies within the first 2-3 hours after the murders, possibly even sooner imo. Remember that this wasn't a secured crime scene where LV could live out his fantasy as he would have undoubtedly liked to with the two young women, then spend unlimited time in body disposal. There were too many variables potentially at work that could have gotten LV busted red handed with corpses. He would have been in a pretty big hurry to get rid of the bodies and be back at the Theatre to tighten his only plausible alibi (slept all night, saw no one, knows nothing). This is what has leant me to believe that he used the river for disposing of Pearsall or possibly even dumped Pearsall separately but out in the same general area as K&B. Everytime I think about how this would have unfolded I just can't get past the rising fear/paranoia and stress that LV would have felt continuing to cruise around with 3 corpses in his vehicle. He wouldn't have felt comfortable enough imo to spend a significant amount of time planning body disposal. Pearsall was over six feet tall and weighed between 150-160 pounds. LV wouldn't have taken him up hill from the highway and risk being seen by a passing motorist. He would have taken the path of least resistance down the hill from the highway. It's entirely possible that he would have placed the body in a place that wasn't in plain sight but I don't believe he would have buried him. I think Pearsall's remains rest within roughly 100 yards or less from the highway on the down sloping side of the road. Likely at the bottom of a ravine or pretty good slope (to ease the dragging 150-160 pounds of dead weight) and possibly somewhere obscure, like under old growth bushes etc. I strongly believe that if Pearsall didn't end up in the river that he is with-in a15-20 mile stretch of the highway in that same Highway 3 region that the female victims were found in.
I kind of thought the same thing. I wonder if he was stopped on the shoulder of the highway dumping a body and was interrupted by another car coming in the distance. He would've had to drive off before dumping all three in the same spot. I've heard people that think he hid Pearsall in a different, harder to discover spot so he could always blame Steve if the girls bodies were found. I just don't think he had time to plan it out- he would've known he was screwed if he didn't ditch those bodies asap & try to find an alibi for himself. I believe Steve showing up and discovering what he had done to the girls really caught him off guard. I can't see any other motive to kill Steve. He could've dumped Pearsall first or the two girls first, either way I definitely think it's worth continuing the search. Finding Steve would finally put the last nail in LV's coffin.
I want to know Voss's whole criminal trajectory. He had to have been stuff in his teens. The one case I doubt they can pin on him is that of Kristin David, which is a pity. If they do find Pearson's body, is that an automatic conviction for Voss?
