He had a hunch and went to look.
Maybe he told his boss that he was "peeing" so he wouldn't lose his job for searching on county time.
There were 4 times when I had a "hunch" about a hiding spot or a body dump site. I never stopped to go look, or even called anyone because it was just a hunch. Each time I was travelling to or from work and just too dressed up to go tromping around in heels and a business suit. Each hunch WAS in fact correct, I would later learn.
When you travel the same route twice or more a day every day for years, you notice little things that are "out of place". This guy knew the area from his job as a meter reader, so he would notice something unusual.
You are so correct on that Dot. I even see things out of the corner of my eye, as bleary as I am in the mornings and evenings on work commutes, that are not the daily norm. My mind wakes up when that happens and says Huh? What was that?
Also, scattering, hate to say this, could have been from any previous searches and the ATV in addition to water and animals.
I am attempting to quote 2 people .. not sure if I am doing it right.
I totally agree .. I worked as a meter reader for 4 years. I did the same routes every month... I see a connection in the dates of this person reading a meter route.... Meter readers learn areas very well and can tell if something is amiss.....Yes he could most likely told his boss we was relieveing himself to avoid trouble....I don't think he has any connection other than being frustrated that this case has gone on so long.. esp since he called 3 days in a row.....
I do think the law enforcement officer who was fired has a connection here.....
