(reference point)
The crime scene is listed as 2352 Herron Rd (34.236653, -89.954356). A few feet NE of that location, and on the opposite side of Herron Rd, is another gated location; it is listed as 2364 Herron Rd (34.235999, -89.953285). There is a sign at 2364 listed to a ROWSEY.
Googling ROWSEY in Courtland provides listings for an agricultural farm, soybeans, live stock, cotton fields etc. However that location is 788 Herron Rd (34.218671, -89.987836), SE of the crime scene, 4.3 miles away (8 mins by car) -- a very long crow's flight from the ROWSEY sign.
*Note: I do not accept Google's stated distances or times; I have found too many glaring inconsistencies in "Google Measurements".
On the other hand, if you zoom the 2364 coordinates you will note that there is a small building inside 2364, behind the locked gate. That structure is approximately 448.32 ft away from the crime scene.
located along the lower, southern, Courtney Village Rd access
Other than the small building there does not appear to be anything significant between the 788 Herron Rd farm and the small building, other than (a) fields, (b) a house at 34.228764, -89.970488, (c) a house 34.227693, -89.979115, (d) a barn? 34.228573, -89.979008, and (e) a few other houses.
IIRC, these are reference points along the eastern side of Herron Dr. However, along the western side of Herron, there is a great deal of housing but it is much farther down from the crime scene, and nearer Benson Rd.
With regards to the crime scene, there is nothing behind the locked gate except woodlands....
The further one inspects this area via Google satellite imagery, it is apparent that the road winds into a large, circular open area. The satellite imagery gives one the impression that the owner of the property directly behind the crime scene is some sort of agency, rather than a local, resident, land baron.
