Found a dead body

**Jackinthebox** · 05-15-2013, 08:08 AM

I think it's one of the guys we did a massive search for a few days before Christmas. Idiots decided to go out on a canoe during a storm on a dangerous river. One of three made it to shore. The other two were never heard from again, and one of the lost was supposed to get married in the morning.

Never made sense to me why they went out on the water that night, but one of the guys was an accomplished sailor, had crossed the Atlantic.

Never a good thing to stumble upon. I'm guessing nobody said "finders keepers"

Strange story behind that.

It was especially freaky since I walked that exact stretch of the water's edge the night of the search. Where it washed up was not even a hundred yards from where the initial command post was set up.

Still pisses me off that these assholes did this to themselves. And of course we have guilt that we never found them that night. Then we kept wondering if maybe they just faked their own deaths and were kickin it in the Caribbean or something. We also worried that maybe they made land and that we didn't search deep enough into the woods and stuff.

The autopsy results should hopefully put all that to rest today. And then we just wait for the other body to pop up now.

Sorry for the loss, Jack.

Closure is a good thing.

Indeed. Cheers.

That's horrible. Not a good idea to go canoeing in bad weather and probably not entirely sober.

After a few days,especially in the summer,the hellish smell would preceed the visual contact...

Bachelor party, and they DROVE halfway across the county to get to the spot where they put in that night. We found their cars before sunup, and the survivor's clothes.

Had one of those along a busy highway here a few years ago. Crack head just went off and died in the bushes. Missing for 6 months before someone smelled her in the heat.

That doesn't top the stench that came out of our local serial killer's house though. He collected seven dead hookers over about a year's time. When he got caught and the bodies started to get moved, oh lord that was some stank that would just not go away for weeks in that neighborhood.

Hmmm? did she wander off into the brush? or did her pimp/drug dealer throw her lifeless body there? and for what its worth,the most evil drug,imo,is crystal meth...

**Jackinthebox** · 05-16-2013, 12:05 AM

Nah, she was natural causes. Autopsy was pretty conclusive. She had a hard life and it cost her. She was actually about a year recovered which is kind of sad.

We don't have a big meth problem up here, but I have seen what it does to people. A buddy of mine in Florida has had a hell of a time with it.

**JayRodney** · 05-16-2013, 01:18 AM

A friend of mine in Indiana died from it.

Horrible shït.
