[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN The obvious is always
interesting. An exposed body, near where the vehicle was recovered? The only
question is how it magically appeared after the initial search. It is more
likely the area was not searched initially (or ever). The use of aircraft
in dense foliage is not recommended, even with FLIR and the current drought in
Over 20 years ago the
level of effort a manager would put into an area before moving on during the
initial operation was that sufficient to raise the probability of detection to
80% or higher. This meant 3 passes with 3 different resources from 3
different directions. And nobody got credit for more than 50%. This meant clue
detection was around 50% the first pass, raised to a cumulative 75% after the
second effort, and finished off at 87.5 % by the third. In a really sticky
area you might need more manpower or more technology to get there. And there is
still that 20% you missed. The older the job the less likely a find will be made
and recoveries are hard on the people involved. One of the jobs in
state park near here involved a college age man with self destructive problems.
His girl had left him, etc. his family didn’t report him missing for 3 days so
when his car was found it was an emergency dispatch (less than 24 hours on the
missing sheet). Four tracking dog teams independently tracked him out of
the area, hasty teams cleared
trails all night long, a horse patrol found nothing. After over 18 hours of
intense overnight effort (and discovering that the car had been there 3 days or
more based on overnight parking reports) a relocation of effort was decided
on. The body was found hanging from a deer stand, about 20 feet overhead
in dense woods, that fall, less than 100 yards from a trail.

[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Susan Wright Don't know how many of you were
aware of this missing person. Although horses were not used in this
search, I find Tim Miller's comments (Texas EquuSearch) very
interesting. |
