Ok, it looks like as long as I state the rumors as rumors I'm ok, and I'm extremely local and have a family member that's working in the courthouse so a lot of overheard information and gossip gets passed on to me. I'm not sure how accurate all of this is, but I'll list the facts as I know them to be and the rumors I've heard.
FACTS
*McGhee was on that piece of property to retrieve some tools that the people who were living there had borrowed from him.
*Those people moved to a different state either during or right after the initial police investigation.
*McGhee seemed to have "vanished into thin air" out of his car, they could find no trace nor trail of him at the time of the disappearance.
*There is a private airstrip adjacent to the property, owned by a local businessman who uses it for his small private plane.
*The land he disappeared on was at one time leased by a former judge in Lincoln County who is currently facing federal charges having to do with theft and fraud.
*The local LE and the OSBI were both involved in the initial investigation when no trace of McGhee was found.
*The 20 or so bones were found approximately 300yds from the original spot the car was found.
RUMORS
*The airstrip is rumored to be used to run drugs.
*There have been a lot of suspicious deaths, usually accidents or overdoses, of people that were involved with the judge facing charges, one of whom was set to testify against him. This is a fact, but it goes under rumors because I have no other evidence to connect the judge to the deaths.
*The businessman with the airstrip and the judge are rumored to be in the drug running business together.
All of this is just my interpretations of the facts and rumors that swirl around this town like fog on a lake. There may be absolutely nothing here, but on the other hand, if it all connects somehow, it's a pretty large amount of criminal activity in a town this size over a relatively small period of time.
