also it's kind of tricky to interpret what LE people know/mean when they enter data. Whoever was keying it in could have their own understanding while everyone who keeps up with UID cases has another understanding.
Yeah, they were the worst in the area I lived in land that wasn't actively being farmed or maintained, by water. The latter, because it's a source of water, obviously, but also because fruits from bushes fall in the water, wash up on a bank further down, the seeds strike, and become a new plant. The seeds get spread a lot by birds, too.
I agree it seems they are suggesting suicide, however the circumstances in which he was found seem very unusual. To take your own life and end up under blackberry bushes does not add up to me. That and the fact his remains were found by a weyerhaeuser employee, why wasn't he discovered earlier if there were people regularly working all around that area.
Maybe natural causes? Or if the bushes were mowed when he died, the odds are he was fully covered fairly quickly.
Yes, even in Texas, I'm familiar with Washington's blackberry problem. We don't have the problem here, but I read enough gardening stuff to know about it!So re: blackberry bushes, it is a seriously big issue here. Companies and individuals will spend a LOT of time clearing out blackberry bushes, because they are a big problem. There has been lots of blackberry bush-related drama in this state.
) he used a bulldozer to destroy a protected wetland area on his property and claimed it was because he wanted to get rid of blackberry bushes. Now if you read about the whole case and the drama surrounding it, you can tell that's a lie, but it sounds initially to be a reasonable excuse. And there are other people who do things like Onision, with getting rid of protected wildlife areas and blaming blackberry bushes.
What a generous gesture by his loved ones. Educating the coming generations of anthropologists, who will go on to help to identify more Does like he was.
