My thinking is the search identified areas where a body could have been buried.

They then brought in the backhoe to excavate.

Searching someone’s property wouldn’t normally involve a backhoe, as that’s quite invasive.

I hate to bring this up, but
I hope PF hasn't buried any livestock recently.

Is backhoe standard just so they can poke around anywhere the ground looks soft? Or is that reason to think they might have found something in your opinion?

When did they bring the backhoe in?

IF yesterday, I think it would be standard in a case such as this. A 3-day search, maybe have it on property ready to use if necessary.

But if it was brought in sometime today, perhaps they found an area of interest

I know it happens all the time, but I always think it’s crazy when perps bury bodies on their own property. Even land two parcels down would be far less likely to be searched extensively.

I live in the country and during a missing person case several years ago, I was amazed by how many hiding places there are among open fields and forests and run down farms with abandoned outbuildings and vehicles.

Uh- Oh.......

Is KRDO a local news source? I'm thinking it is.

So, if the reward is fake, then that takes me back to a conversation I had with my husband at the beginning of the month, why hasn't there been some type of reward offered? With Mollie Tibbetts it started out with a certain amount and went up up up up up. Why haven't we seen this at all with Kelsey???

Well that’s close to a million.

Weather for Florissant the next few days will be a high of 48 and lots of sun, melting more snow and making things easier to search.

Anyone else think the quote: "possible clue in a baked good" has to do with DNA? Perhaps she offered him a serving when he came over to pick up the baby?

People tend to bury bodies in areas that are both convenient, and familiar.

It’s weird but true.

How many people have buried loved ones right in their own backyard!?

Are they using cadaver dogs in the search?

 

[LietKynes]

Did LE say they found evidence in his truck or did they just take it to check for evidence?

Danger !
FYI ; This was false info from a click-bait blog.
The truth is that they would just be looking for any clues.. which would be standard protocol in this case ; since KB is still just 'missing'.

Quote from where?

Depends on the source of the quote and what the context was.

Hopefully we get some answers. Being raised in farm country, I know when livestock dies, they are buried with a backhoe. So it's could be something like that, or something more nefarious.

I think that’s a safe bet.

I’d bet my house on it.

I don't think people usually do that. I lived on a horse farm and the glue man would come take them after they were put down, to use all their parts. They are very valuable in many ways.

Are they using cadaver dogs in the search?

I would expect they are, but I can’t personally verify that as I haven’t read that detail that I can remember.

Do they have to dig up bones to rule out if they are a large animal or not? I'm sure there's been plenty of those buried there.

There are a select few animal bones that closely resemble human bones. For example, the bones of a bear’s paw are similar to the bones of the human hand. Careful examination of each bone shows that the bear paw bones are more robust than the human hand bones. Fragments of a pig tibia (the large bone in the shin) can look like a human tibia. Through thorough analysis and comparison to known pig and human skeletons, the correct species can be determined. But to do such analysis the forensic anthropologist HAS to actually examine them close up and sometimes do a cross-section examination of them. For example, sunbleached turtle bones can mimic bits of a human skull (Human skull bones have an interior composed of spongy looking cancellous bone, but turtle shells do not). Again, hands on.

Back in another thread.. my post reflected that DM said they (LE) were doing just that.
Take DM with the proverbial grain.....
