Wow, Jeff! I feel like I just took Search Techniques 101 and passed with flying colors! Thanks so very much for your time and information.
To any Mods out there ... these post are so valuable and pertain to pretty much everything we look at at WS. is there somewhere, somehow that the posts can be combined and made into a sticky or put in a 'reference manual'??
I agree. There are so many cases in which posters carry on about how families, etc. should be out "searching," when months have passed and the families have no training in how to search for a body. Last night on the ID show Disappeared a woman's body was found buried when an area was searched by a person who recognized that the ground felt different under his feet from one step to another. Then he noticed signs that the ground had been disturbed. A less observant individual would have walked right on, looking for a body above ground. I think a "manual" for posters to refer to would be great. Jeff, you've done us all a great service by educating us about the complexity of searches and the expertise of those who do it well.
