How far could a body be thrown onto the side of a road, from a pickup truck?
Not a car becuase I tend to believe that they would just roll onto the street.
Moo

A few feet.

DEVELOPING: Authorities just told volunteers that this is a 14 mile long crime scene. From city of Barron all the way to Turtle Lake. #JaymeCloss

I wonder if that would include the village of Almena? It is along that route.

(As is the unincorporated community of Poskin.)

In any case here on WS, if the missing person or a family member is found to be involved or guilty, how is that then handled here? Do we all just ignore it and still make no comment whatsoever, so to not be ‘victim or family of victim unfriendly’?

We can only talk about such things once law enforcement says a victim isn't a victim anymore but rather a suspect or person of interest, instead. That is how it works.

After four days with no sign of 13-year-old Jayme Closs, the Barron County Sheriff has assembled a team of volunteers to search a 14-mile-long crime scene along Highway 8.

One hundred volunteers gathered in Barron Thursday afternoon. The volunteers were split into groups of seven and will search with law enforcement along Hwy. 8 from Barron to Turtle Lake. Family members are also part of the search.

The search is expected to take two to three hours.

The group is searching along State Highway 8. The Barron County Sheriff's Office described it as "a routine search for articles of evidentiary value that may be related to the incident."

Therapists and comfort dogs are being sent to the Barron Area School District to provide support to classmates and friends of Jayme Closs.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of School Safety is working with the Wausau Police Department and the Wisconsin Safe and Healthy Schools Center to provide trained therapists, dogs and school resource officers to the district.

I cannot imagine LE allowing civilian searches in there if they thought they were going to find a body so close to the time she went missing. I am thinking it's something else. IMO

Just now getting caught up. My nephew had a longer nap this morning so I wasn't able to really catch up until now since he's asleep.

Holy crap!!

Also can someone explain to me what you mean by they must have intel? What does intel mean?

Sorry I know its a stupid question but I have heard of the word just don't know what it means like in context.

They’re looking for discarded items most likely. Clothing, phone, gun, things like that.

 

[Cardinal47]

This could be an important fact in my opinion. Getting home at 11:30 could mean that some of the shots were fired before?

Could also mean one was killed by gunshot and one by another means. I wonder if that is why they called in another expert to do the autopsy.

 

[TCIntriguedIN30]

Could be indeed. I’ve just never seen civilians called to assist at an active “crime scene”.

according to what I have seen they are in groups of 7 and each group has an LEO with them.

Argh...so many little lakes, rivers, ponds, and creeks in the area...is there infrared technology that can detect people?

 

[andreww]

I think abducting Jayme had to have been easier done some other way.

I agree that the perp may have known and sought revenge on the family.

Otherwise - why this? Why kill two if an easier solution was at hand?

You know, I always try to think logically about a crime, forgetting that sometimes there just isn't any. Sometimes a store clerk gets shot for a pack of smokes.

Both were killed by gunshot.

The sheriff confirmed both parents died of gunshot wounds.

Didn’t they both die from gunshot wounds? I thought that was the conclusion of the autopsy, unless that changed today and I missed it

 

[Le Singe]

Is this normal? Public search for evidence or a body? This seems weird to me. And having to provide a valid ID.

the ID part is standard operating procedure.

Yes.

On Wednesday, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald shared the autopsy results, which indicated that both James and Denise were murdered. Their death was the result of gunshot wounds.
Missing 13-year-old girl's parents' death ruled homicide by gunshot

 

[gngr~snap]

Both were killed by gunshot.

We did not hear by the "same type weapon" though.
Could have been 2 or more different types of guns used.

The casino in Turtle lake (St Croix) is tribal, obviously it’s going to sit on tribal land. From what I can see via Google Maps right now tho the St Croix Chippewa tribal lands look to be about 50 miles north around Big Sand Lake. Does anyone else see any other tribal property around Turtle Lake?
