The M property and Arkansas River conversation got me thinking about a similar post I made recently. This post is MOO and is just something to consider regarding where SM’s body might be found.
-BM was/is a volunteer firefighter
-Volunteer firefighters train on swift water rescue in the Arkansas River
-I’d imagine some aspect of that training involves what happens if a person is swept down the river with knowledge that there is a dam. I’d imagine you’d also be familiar with how corpses of people that drown are found in that area
-As a volunteer FF, you’d also have a lot of experience with the various terrain in the area
-As a big game hunter, you’d feel comfortable being out in remote areas
That leads me to think that if BM is the perp, he’d have enough info on why trying to hide a body in the Arkansas River is not a good option. I could see a weapon that would sink being disposed in the river but not a body.
On the other hand, as a FF, Big game Hunter, and someone very familiar with hardscape work, I think you’d have a lot of ideas on how you could use the terrain for your benefit.
