After looking at a map and studying the news story, it appears the remains and the bike are off the road quite a ways. Not sure of 10 minutes or 10 miles, but either way think about how "someone" could get the body and the bicycle to this point?
Pawpaw was a big man. He would not have ridden his bike to that point. And as most of us agree, he met with foul play.
It would take at least 2 people if not 3 to get him there or it would take more than 1 trip for 2 people if they went by land. There would have been 2 people to carry him and someone else to carry the bicycle.
Unless it is possible to get to that spot by boat. It was daylight, but getting dark I think when they were looking for him, so I am assuming it was daylight when he went missing. I think they would have carried the body and bicycle by boat or pick up wrapped a tarp, but removing those items from the highway during daylight hours would be very risky.
I still think 2 people would be invloved if they took him by boat. I guess 1 person could have managed if they too were big and strong. Taking him in a boat during the day would be much easier. One could stay away from other boats and meander around the fingers of the lake to get to that point? This seems to be a safer way to transport the body and bike.
I wish a local was on this thread to tell us if that is possible?
