I was home-shopping around the northern border burbs over the Summer and was surprised at home much house you could get for not a lot of $$$ in the southern parts of Farmington Hills. Talking Sixteen Candles/Home Alone style houses but on bigger lots and with pools for prices starting with a 2.
Let's say one were to search when the snow melts.
Given that it's been cold AF the past three weeks, how would the body hold up?
Hopefully we don't find a body, but anything else besides phone and keychain we should search for?
Crime has gotten VERY bad here. IMO, the opiod/heroin epidemic has really jacked crime up! Thefts & breakins are terrible. I live in a relatively small,"safe" town and it isn't unusual to hear of 2 or more overdoses each day on the scanner.
Where do you live? Just curious - live about 40 mins from Ann Arbor, as well, in a relatively small town with a overdose issue, as well.
I am a local. Was approached once when I was in 2nd grade and ran away from him. Another time 2 years ago, I was getting gas at a Walmart and smokes. When inside getting smokes this guy in line was friendly and said hi, I said hi back. Then after I got gas and left, I noticed in my rear view mirror his white van was following me. Wow alarm bells went off Instead of going straight home, I turned and he turned. I ended up going to a couple's house and ran into their garage. Scary
Find out what kind and color of clothing she was wearing if possible. I was raised on a ranch in Texas, and believe me, after three weeks outdoors, a body doesn't really look like a body anymore. It will be much smaller, flatter, and will resemble melted wax with hair. The best thing to work off of and to look for is clothing, especially bright colored or neon clothing. I have no idea what she was wearing other than that dark coat we first heard about. The cold weather will go along way in delaying decomposition, but it's still going to happen. It was still fairly warm back at the first of December there if my memory serves right.
We used to have to go out and try and find animals that had gotten separated from the other animals, sometimes it was due to pregnancy, storms, injuries, or a whole host of other reasons. My dad raised Beefmaster cows and bulls, with the bulls selling for upwards of 10K apiece, so when one of them got lost, he wanted it found post haste. When he sent us out to find a lost animal, he didn't ask us to try and find it, he told us to find it......and don't come back home until you do.
With animals, you don't have the luxury of them wearing bright colored clothes, or any clothes for that matter. One thing that used to be very helpful though was to take along a really good pair of binoculars for scanning the terrain. You'd be amazed at how a little bit of magnification can really bring a lot of clarity to your eyes. It was always rather shocking how a full grown horse or cow could shrink down to about 25% of it's normal size in just a couple of weeks. A lot of animals, if sick or injured, would deliberately hide in brush and overgrowth. That wouldn't really apply in this case, but it could apply in cases of human suicide. Also, it's no secret that many of these victims are deliberately covered up and hidden from view by the perpetrator, so you'll have to search in the tall grass, weeds, and undergrowth.......no way around it.
I personally believe that is part of the reason so many of these organized searches come up empty sometimes. They have searchers that are searching for what they think is going to appear to be a fully intact human body.......as if the person was lying in the grass sleeping, or a mannequin was lying in a bar ditch. They don't look like that after 3 weeks, trust me.

:welcome: to Websleuths. Here's some basic information about the duties of Secret Service.

So I have not been able to find anything on this case that would warrant the use of the Secret Service. They protect the president and the financial structure of the United States. It seems odd. There's not even any evidence of any crime at this point and there are already 12 agencies working on this. It makes me think there is something large missing in the reporting here.

It's not the Secret Service that protects the president on this case. The secret service they have been talking about is some law enforcement agency that is set up there in Michigan. That matter came up way back on thread one. It's my understanding that they do a lot of undercover work and stings......sort of a "secret" LE agency that apparently keeps a really low profile. I had never heard of them either.
Thank you, I've never heard of them either! I'm not thinking too clearly today ... terrible cold ... blah.
Steelman...do you happen to know what type of case warrants the SS to be brought in? Drugs, ST, etc.?
