So many cold cases. How can so many people vanish without a trace, it just doesn't seem possible, yet look how many we have just here on this forum.
Anyway, I didn't see this posted here, it's from May 17th of this year. At least they're still searching, that's quite amazing actually. Really great people involved, IMO. I mean, who's searching for Brian Shaffer ? Anyone?

Weve covered, in rough numbers, over 120 square miles of the watershed, Anderson said. There is still watershed to search to the northwest, approximately midway between Porter and Canby.
The overwhelming belief is that Swanson, walking in the dark of night, slipped and fell into the Yellow Medicine River, which was quite swollen at the time. Canines indicated his presence at the edge of the river bank, but then seemingly followed his scent for a good distance farther on land, making searchers suspect that Swanson was able to get back out of the river and continue walking, possibly until he was overcome with hypothermia.

Hasse said the search for Swanson has been the most well-documented and detailed search ever conducted, in part because theyve kept meticulous records, which includes tracking the canines and handlers through GPS technology.
Early searches for Swanson used a lot of manpower. But in the past few years, the searches have centered around a few select certified human remains detection dogs. More than 40 dogs have been used over the course of nine years.
