I sat here and revised the map this morning while I drank 3 or 4 cups of coffee. Since I've been inquiring the last week about if and when ground searches had been conducted, and haven't liked the answers, I decided to highlight some areas on the map that may warrant scrutiny if and when a search is ever conducted for this girl. The highlighted areas where chosen for specific reasons, the biggest reason being that it is fairly close to her home, but also because it is accessible by vehicle. The area adjoining her apartment complex was not highlighted because I am forced to
assume that it has been searched well by the police. I'll leave it at that.
Since this is a highly populated and busy area, I seriously doubt it is very easy to dispose of a corpse without being seen. But seeing how the person responsible had almost 12 hours of
darkness in order to hide the crime, that had a major role in selecting the areas shown. There are many areas that are wooded or fairly wooded, but if they are lined with homes and streetlights, it's doubtful that our perp would attempt anything where he could be easily seen. Most of the areas highlighted are closed off to view on at least one or two sides, unlit or sparsely lit, and are accessible by a regular vehicle. The area shown around Heritage park is highlighted for that very reason, vehicle access. Some areas are wooded with water, but are land-locked on 4 sides.......not a good dumping spot.
The good news is, most of the locations noted are fairly small and should be easy to search quickly. For example, many of them are under 5 acres total, and two or three people could scour them within an hour or less.
What's not shown are culverts, low lying bridges, and deep ditches along the roadways. Feel free to forward this to her family and friends, since there is supposed to be a warming trend coming up in the next couple of days. It's my understanding that after Christmas, the temps are supposed to climb way up above normal in this area and stay there for at least a week or so. It might be a good time to put on your rubber boots and go get some exercise.
