We definitely found the abandoned house - it is located right off County Rd 2150 on Co Rd 1400 E. At the driveway/gravel rd entrance someone has placed a Memorial wreath. As you drive onto the property, about 50-75, there is crime scene tape (it has been pulled down). A little further in the abandoned house is on the right. The driveway/gravel road winds around the house and this area is where I believe Jessie lost her life. There is a barn a little further down this road.
The area of the house, the falling down barn and the path that leads into the woods have all obviously been searched extensively - you can see tire prints, foot prints, and paths through the weeds and vegetation.
We traveled 1125 E and 2150N at least 10 miles each direction and saw no signs of another crime scene.
We stopped at every small bridge, wide ditch, etc - looking for signs of those guns. Every place we thought of looking had already been searched. (footprints, trampled weeds,etc.)
I had understood that the campsite was located near the intersection of 2150N and 1400 E - from what we saw I don't think this correct. There is a cornfield next to a row of large trees here with no road or access to the LWR (although I'm positive you could reach the LWR if you traveled by foot). There also are no signs that LE has been back there so I'm sure we weren't in the campsite location today.
I now think the campsite location is further down 1400E, turn down Co Rd 2075N. From the map that I looked at there may be easy access to LWR. I'm going back tomorrow to confirm this.
I have photos of the abandoned house area that I want to share but cannot figure out how to upload them. Would someone more computer savvy than me be willing to privately contact me? I'm willing to email them to someone that can post them for all of us.
I have to say it was a deeply sad and haunting experience to know an innocent young lady spent her last moments near where we were today. My husband has worked in corrections for 30 years and is no softie but he was moved so much that he would not go onto the campsite today.
Barn on the property

These last few photos give me the creeps. Even as I was uploading them, I was creeped out. That house...I can not imagine a scarier place to die. Especially at night.

Looks like Roseb3 may have caught something? Blue swirls....??
That makes sense. He could have gone north, gotten on the interstate, then taken the Burnt Prairie exit and tossed the body off next to a back road. Or he could have cut through the country the entire way. Guess you would probably want to stay off the interstate when you have a body in the back of your truck.
Grrr....I wish I could find a map that would show both the county roads and the county lines. This is the best I could find. It doesn't have all the back roads, but it does show how easily Coston could have traveled from Centerville to Burnt Prairie.

Very creepy and how terrifying for Jessi. Coston must know all the backroads and houses like the back of his hand. How else would he have known where to find this empty property. That last photo of the barn with the "swirls" really creeped me out. I think it's the sun either hitting the camera lens or maybe spider webs. But still looks very ghostly. Thanks Rose for going there and taking all these pics.

Saw something similar on a pic at a vigil for Susan Powell....and it blew everyones mind.
NO way in hello would I go there at night!!!!!
ETA: Thanks again Rose....and hubby too! Thanks for the help too 88. Great job you guys.
Does anyone know how old Coston's live-in girlfriend is?
Nothing worth while in the Disclosure article? ????
I believe she's 30.
I suppose this is just a coincidence, but someone by the name of Candi Brown went missing on Sunday, August 26 at about 1am. She's 29 and was last seen in Michigan City, Indiana. Any chance this is the same Candice Brown who is supposedly Danny Coston's girlfriend?

Don't think so. Michigan City, IN is up by Chicago. A good 6 hour drive. Our CMB is also a brunette.
Candace Brown, 30, of Centreville, Il has been arrested per Evansville Courier and Press.
