It's gone awfully quiet around here. While waiting for new developments, I've been back to the photos on OFMM, studying a few that intrigue me for one reason or another.
The hole for one, of course. PMF said in the radio interview that the OSBI agent shooed her away after he arrived on the scene, which leads me to believe the photo of it was taken while she was waiting for him to get there. My photo software will lighten shadows but I didn't want to see anything human down there, so it was kinda scary to try it. Thankfully, there's nothing like that visible at the bottom of the hole, just ashes and some bent, blackened wires or twigs, although surely if they were twigs they'd also be ashes. Still, it doesn't seem right to post that version of the photo here, just in case.
There was only one photo of a fence and, as I said before, I don't know if it's the one the car went through. I brightened the exposure to get a better look at the details. There are three strands of barbed wire attached to a fencepost and another fencepost lying on the ground at the upper right corner of the pic. The bent-up gate-looking thing does not appear to actually be a gate. The bars seems to be welded to the fencepost, so I don't know what's going on there. Also, the ground around it has been burned. That black shape in the middle is too small to be The Hole and, looking at the edges of the shape, it looks more like a burned thing than a hole. No idea what kind of thing it might have been:
More burned ground. Just guessing this is in the vicinity of, if not adjacent to, the fence above. Looks like a pond behind the trees. Moxley Lake? Another black shape behind the branches in the foreground, crumpled corrugated metal panels, and unburned branches on top of the ashes. What does it all mean?
Moxley Lake is not labeled by name on Google Maps or Google Earth or Bing Maps and I couldn't find any definitive info about it by googling, but it seems like it would probably be the largest body of water in the area. You can see here there are two large ponds:
But switching over to satellite view, it turns out the larger one to the left is a swamp filled with vegetation, and the photos on OFMM show a large expanse of open water. So I think the one on the right is probably Moxley Lake, the one that was searched with sonar and presumably the location of the mysterious footprints. Here it is in relation to the area I suspect was the center of activity that night (the plain blue balloons mark other, smaller ponds):
And that's all I've got for now.
