Hey, did anyone else notice the heavy chain run in one of the photos of the cabin? Have you ever seen one this big? Usually, only see for dogs and such.

Ugh, absolutely disgusting. I also noticed the purple tag on the fence — there was another photo with an exact same purple tag on a tree. How people live this way is beyond me. The basement and barbed wire fence give me chills, and there’s not much that does after twenty plus years being into true crime.
and for the record these people do not represent the majority of folks living in the Ozarks; the banjo comment I found a little offensive.
Oh…that’s creepy. The giant cage and a very large chain run. Seems like equipment you’d find in a Zoo for dealing with large animals.Hey, did anyone else notice the heavy chain run in one of the photos of the cabin? Have you ever seen one this big? Usually, only see for dogs and such.
Around here, purple tags or purple paint on trees are used to say “no hunting”. They look fresh, so they might have been put up recently.The purple tape is just the ubiquitous "no trespassing" sign in missouri. I bet that was probably put up in the last two weeks.
Yeah, speaking as local, I feel like there's an underbelly of meth culture here that gets conflated with Ozark culture. Couldn't be further from the truth.
Yeah, the truck driver connection really has all kinds of implications in this case.

Adding that when sleuthing this case I noticed that trucking seemed to be a big common thread between contacts.
Also does anyone know if JP and TN are related? Just seems like a lot of crossover contacts compared to only being friends.
I showed this to my husband and he said - and he could be way off, of course - that it might not be a run because it looked like it has a "come along" attached (which are used to winch heavy loads off the ground) Could something have been hung here? I hate to even type that:

Well, that just makes my mind go to places I would rather not go.
This is going to be a bad one.
MOO
Moon valley access is a popular place to be at the water. Yes alot of people go down there. When the pandemic first hit and school was canceled it was packed full of people. We did not stay we left and found some where else to go.Occasionally, members do post photos or video they've taken locally, as long as it isn't interfering with LE or trespassing.
Sometimes it helps people get a perspective of where the crime happened, how isolated or busy, etc. I recall one member posting video as she drove the route of a young college student, Mickey Shunick, who was kidnapped while riding her bike home. It was very helpful and cleared up a lot of questions.
I'm still amazed these guys were living so close to Bennett Springs State Park. It's very popular with whitewater canoeing fans and is a well known for trout fishing. Doesn't that area see a lot of traffic?
I'm local to the ozarks of Missouri and to lebanon mo. Jp and tn do not represent who we are. Theres a lot of good people here in this area. I was born and raised in the ozarks. Its been my home for over 27 years of my life. The banjo saying is a little offensive.SBM
Now the people that have been fishing & canoeing there know where that banjo music was coming from.
Although you didn't tag me in your response,, I believe you may be referring to my post from earlier. If you look back at the post I had been replying to, that post had stated that the OP was surprised "these guys were living so close to Bennett Springs State Park". My reply was intended to imply that "these guys" might be the type that could remind someone of the unique characters of a somewhat popular movie released back in 1972 that starred Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, & Ned Beatty that was called Deliverance. I'm sorry if anyone got the impression that I was replying to a post that had referred to the entire population of a state, county, region, town, or even some smaller subset of people. I had thought it was clear that "these guys" were the topic of conversation of that post, and therefore the specific parties to which my reply was intended to be focused upon. My apologies if I misunderstood the post I had been replying to. If I misunderstood the intended usage of the term "these guys", I do sincerely apologize for that.I'm local to the ozarks of Missouri and to lebanon mo. Jp and tn do not represent who we are.

It was said it was on the dark web and someone reported it and the FBI were able to identify where it was…Do we know any details behind how the "anonymous tip" the FBI relayed to local LE originated?
