There is a 45 minute cell phone track from the vehicle to the "o-shit".
This should have given you a very good PLK. The track should also indicate
how disoriented he was. It is doubtful at this point that visually
identifiable remains will be found after almost 2 years.

It is unlikely that the body is more than a mile from the end of call
location unless he was not disoriented or otherwise diminished in capacity.
I presume a bastard search has been conducted and no evidence of planned
disappearance or transport from the scene has been found.

You mention a river. If the river is within the probable distance from the
PLK and you believe he fell in and drowned you will not recover anything at
this point unless the water has been cold enough to stop decomposition.

I find it difficult to believe that a farmer would have driven his equipment
over the body if it was reasonably intact at the time. Most farmers are too

protective of their machines to hit anything in a field. A body would really
mess up the equipment or possibly hang on the plowshares.

Below is a forwarded e-mail from the original sender, Jeff Hasse, dated
Friday, Jan 29, 2010. This is my second try; my first try had a typo
in the To: field and was undeliverable.
