Pone Blades Rd
(I couldn’t locate the pond they’re referencing.)
Hi
@mlhenn. There don’t seem to be any ponds close to Pone Blades Rd
Pone Blades Road appears to be a relatively short, single lane rd (is it gravel? it’s hard to tell from Google earth) on the north side of 38. It appears to dead end into the drives of two residences
On the south side of Hwy 38 however, using Google Earth I can see at least two ponds, and one of those in particular looks like it might have been used for fishing (possibly with a small boat) in the past. It has a small T-shaped wooden dock. Both the pond and the dock are small.
I found one other pond on that side of the road as well, but it is further from Pone Blades rd at 38
The pond I am speaking of is at the end of a short dirt road that comes off of Hwy 38 about 300’ west of Pone Blades Rd. and heads south
Given that there has been no fishing equipment found, and given that there has been no small aluminum flat bottom boat found (like the one we’ve seen in Dakota’s fishing photos), an obvious early investigative step would be to see if the fishing gear he likely would have been using is still at his home.
If it is, I think strong consideration should be given to any possible scenario in which Dakota did not drive his 4 wheeler to the pond, and did not leave his phone and cigarettes… that it is possibly a staged. If police suspect it is staged, imo forensic investigation should begin on the phone, cigs, and 4 wheeler asap
I also find it odd that the cigarettes were left. As a former smoker a long time ago, I could see leaving your phone there - not wanting it to get wet - but I would absolutely have my cigarettes with me while fishing. So unless a gator came up to him as he was standing by the 4 wheeler, imo he would have had the cigarettes with him. But I don’t think that happened. There’s no fishing equipment
Who last saw Dakota? Where does he live, and what are other circumstances (is he married? Employed? Was he going to meet somebody there?). And why is there so little info available on his disappearance and any investigation? Hope he is found soon
ETA: changing road numbers. Thought a 3 was a 2, having recently lost much of the vision in right eye
