We all assume it was likely GD who first went to the scene when SM was reported missing. But I’m wondering if it could have been this one:9
Tim Nelson, 33, said: ‘The Sheriff’s office, they told us none of the fire guys are allowed up there.
‘They can’t keep us out of the forest so that’s what some of the others have done – they set up their own little search party.’
Nelson added: ‘It’s a bad deal you know. They aren’t telling us anything. We got excluded from everything.
‘George [Davis] put together a search team of friends – I was going to go but pretty much all our fire guys are on it so I decided to step away just in case we get something [a fire]. (From a Daily Mail article)
BM said in the LS interview that a friend that was there had tried to stop LE from destroying evidence. This Tim Nelson said he was going to go on the search put together by GD, but decided to step away from it. Was it because he was the one who had the run in with LE? The Fire Chief, Robert Bertram, said that the first he heard that SM was missing was when he got a call from one of his ff’ers on Monday.
Either way, Tim Nelson definitely has a chip on his shoulder. MOO
