Not necessarily, but that’s likely part of it.
Nothing new except 2,ooo person search tomorrow and a possible LE Press Conference this afternoon at 4pm CST.Before I start digging too deep of a hole during my short lunch break, can I ask my fellow sleuthers if there have been any new devlepments or theories since the thread reopened this morning?
Given the volume of threads and posts in this case, I hope I’m not out of line for asking for a quick update before I can properly look through the backlog tonight.
Happy to the provide a similar recap or update later this week if necessary. I know keeping up with this thread was pretty draining for me this past weekend, and hope we can support one another to keep up with it as we enter week 2 of the investigation.
I know! I wish they were starting earlier than 9am. I'm from the upper midwest originally, and I know there are plenty of people who would be there at dawn!
The Barron county population is 45,000. The population of the city of Barron is 3,300.
Possible heat detection of a decomposing body search ?
I really hope not
Thank you Cody22!
Would they have civilians searching if they expect to come across a body? I feel they would not allow this for obvious reasons- idk...
TY!
Possibly, but I still think they are searching for a phone.
i was just wondering this as well.
Via maps, it look like those tracks are approximately 850 ft from her house. Also, those tracks eventually run parallel to Vermillion River.This goes all the way back to directly behind her house. Of course this could be old and maybe it's overgrown.
Actually those Street View photos are many years old. The railroad has since be refurbished to support a sand mining operation in Almena to the west of Barron. The satellite images show that the tracks to Almena are cleared and not overgrown. If you go towards Almena along the tracks in Satellite view you will come to the sand plant and see multiple tracks along the plant with those tracks full of rail cars.This goes all the way back to directly behind her house. Of course this could be old and maybe it's overgrown.
I've been avoiding this directly, but yes, I think they would use volunteer searchers to find a body. I think the volunteers will be briefed.
Volunteer searches are very common when so much ground needs to be covered. I took part in one once. Due to ice buildup I had to stop my search, ended being about a hundred yards from where the body was eventually found a few weeks later.
They break them up in to teams. One cop and maybe 20 volunteers. You set up in a line a few feet from each other and walk across the field. Its a grid search most likely.
