It's a needle in a haystack? Is this going to be something along the lines of a hiker, hunter, etc. finding skeletal remains of JC at a later time? jmo

This is what I assume will probably happen.

If his remains is found at a later time, I say it would likely be found during the late fall or early spring when there are less foliage in the mountains.

If you don't pay attention to your surroundings while walking on the mountains, it is very easy to accidentally tumble down an embankment or ravine on the side of a mountain.

I think it is possible that he could have accidentally taken a tumble down an embankment or ravine in the mountains while he was fleeing from the police.

I hope nerosleuth and others thinking along the same lines are right. Yet, I’m still imagining this perp coward watching from afar and chorteling.

From the article:

• JC's vehicle had been backed into the area it was found, where there was only one way in and out.
• “He's got it set up for a quick getaway, of course...” said Laurel County deputy Gilbert Acciardo.
• KSP said the count of vehicles hit is now 17. More people continue to find damage.
• They have covered 28,000 acres on foot and even more by helicopter.
• Helicopters have been using heat sensors at night.
• Multiple dogs have been brought to the area.
• “They were on a track of something. I’m not saying it was Mr. Couch, but they were on a track of something for several days,” said KSP trooper Scottie Pennington.
• KSP moved their command post in the direction the dogs had indicated the trail led.
• KSP indicated it was deeper into Daniel Boone National Forest.

'Turn yourself in' | Kentucky police ramp up search for I-75 shooting suspect in Daniel Boone National Forest

Acting off a trail picked up by squads of cadaver canines and bloodhounds, state police moved their field base deeper into Daniel Boone National Forest.

Kentucky State Police Master Trooper Scottie Pennington shared the force's belief that Couch, at one point, packed food. "He did early on, that's probably went and gone," Pennington said.

Drones scout the caves before troopers and dogs move through.

Now, state police are following a trail picked up by their canines sniffing out the wilderness.

Manhunt continues for Joseph Couch, KSP provides media tour of one of the crime scenes

Media got access to part of the Daniel Boone National Forest where law enforcement has been searching for Couch and received an update on the search from Scottie Pennington, KSP Master Trooper.

Equipped with bulletproof vests and helmets, the necessary gear worn by troopers during the search weighs at least sixty pounds. Part of the tour of the area where KSP met with the media showed the location where Couch left his vehicle after the I-75 shooting nine days ago. KSP noted that Couch traveled the length of three football fields on foot down to the highway after the shooting.

Search continues for I-75 shooting suspect

Police are battling through rough terrain in the thick forest.

“We’ve had some busted up ankles, a lot of twisted ankles. We’ve had some dogs that overheated really bad. A lot of deputies and troopers that have overheated,” said Kentucky State Police Post 11 Trooper Scottie Pennington.

“They are sweating, they’re tired. Are up with briers, thickets, ticks. Deer ticks. Chiggers,” said Pennington.

Couch will be charged with attempted murder, but it’s possible others will be filed based on the injuries search crews have suffered.

It seems they believe he is still alive, very scary for the community. I presumed he had off'd himself and it was just a matter of finding his body.

 

[Ms. Fletcher]

I'm wondering if this hide-and-seek with LE was what he was after from the start. I think he was looking for notoriety. He just had to do something evil enough to start the chase. MOO

Let today be the day he's located. And let it be peaceful, so all these searchers and K9s can finally rest!

The manhunt has been stretching local agencies thin. We’re told more than 400 tips have been submitted to law enforcement, most of which have been outside the Daniel Boone National Forest. We’re told more than 28,000 acres of the forest have been searched.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Couch has made one of the worst decisions in his life. Turn himself in. No one has died,” said Pennington in his plea for Couch to surrender.

Troopers, deputies, officers, and others are dressed in gear that’s symbolic of going into battle. They let WKYT’s crew get a feel for that heavy gear Monday morning. It’s a mission to find one man, but the enemy is often more than just a man.

“They are sweating, they’re tired. Are up with briers, thickets, ticks. Deer ticks. Chiggers,” said Pennington.

Someone is helping the coward evade LE. Bad idea. Turn him in or join him in the slammer.
