Deeper into Kuss Road
This is just me trying to plunge myself in data looking at Kuss Rd. I need a place to keep track of it all and Reddit will not let me save posts with images, so in order to not loose it, which also sometimes happens I’d rather share it, tho I am not ready yet. Will I ever am ;). Well, here it goes.
Civilian volunteers w/DCI log: where did the Mishicot Rescue go?
The morning of the 7th of november 2005 RH and SB check in at the Command post at Avery Salvage Yard at 09:03. At 9:53 they check out. I assume there was a briefing of that day’s planned search avtivities. On IMG_2434 of the FOIA’d images (case photos) there is this snippet:
It shows Ryan’s cell phone number and left it says “7 DCI” including 7 names to got with that. It says area code 928 Arizona but I believe this is a typo, must be 920 for Wisconsin.
If you now go to page 90-96 of the crime scene entry/exit log you will see a number of cilivians checking in on this list starting between 10:18am-10:25am , 25 minutes after RH/SB checked out at the Avery Salvage yard command post. RH/SB as well as DCI personel did not check in on this cilvilian volunteers w/dci-list, nor out. I am assuming their checks at command post would be sufficient for them somehow.
By matching people and times I concluded that page 102-103 are from the same civilian volunteer log.
What strikes the most in this log is that there are some entries that have nothing to do with civilians, but LE checking in and out. Then I realized this entry made on the regular log at the command post ASY:
Notice it says nothing about in or out, it looks like it is refering to another log, this civilian log. And tadaa on the civilian volunteers log, burried in the back of the file at page 93 you find this:
So was this Mishicot Rescue and ambulance that went to Kuss Road at that time? And why was it written on another log than the one from ASY command post? Makes no sense. Or was it that the civilian volunteers found something that needed a request for an ambulance?
CASO Report Tyson: Kuss Road 1 or 2 incidents, 1 or 2 locations?
Maybe Tyson was right after all when he said in his report that search volunteers or civilians had found this potential burial site.
The weird thing is Tyson/Lenk/Colborn checked out at 3:30pm to go to this “potential area of suspicion”, while in the same report by Tyson he writes about going to Kuss Road for a “suspicious incident” with Lenk and Colborn in the morning. They left ASY at 11:06 and returned 12:46. He does not refer to the afternoon site to be the same as the morning one.
I believe Tyson is trying to make it look like 2 different incidents or locations.
Bushman or Seidl found what?
There was a suspisicious incident in the morning where Bushman and his team found a “burial site” and a “stump” between 9:33 and 11:05 and this might just be the same incident as the peat moss bag found by “search volunteers”, only cleaned up from its original contents and replaced by an item in the category “nothing to see here”.
Also note the “TCO” next to the found stump and “RORI” under it, if I read that right. Possible meaning: RORI: “Rule out /Rule in”, notice de I is underscored. TCO: “Taken care of. Both items have also been crossed for some unknown reason.
On the flipside of this form by Bushman (team A) and the one by Seidl (team C) there are these items:
The almost same sequential order of these items raises questions. Does this implicate that there was some sort of briefing as to what items to look for that made this list? Then why are there for example no keys mentioned. And why not mention what TH last wore to be precise instead of just “clothing”. Why do teams B and D not write down this information (at least not on this form), instead they only mention items they found. Why does Bushman add “Tracks vehicle 5 -10 feet apart” and Seidl does not write this down? Imo this is because these other items are items found. Bushman might even just write these tracks on there with the vague description to try to make it look like a “to look for”-list.
Then Seidl writes this on the same back of this form:
First TH wore blue jeans, a white button down shirt and a dark colored summer jacket. All information they had since 11/3. Why is the summer jacket not mentioned here? Is it because they only found these items? Most important what stands out, in between 2 safety instructions here is: “restage Kuss Rd”.
To restage a crime scene, is when items of evidence are taken and then put back as it was originally observed. After it is all documented and photographed of course.
Cleanup time frame from logging perspective
To look for suspicious entries surrounding the time of the incident in the morning and after, I made this sheet based on the crime scene logs. I chose for what i believe to be key players in the Kuss Road story. Of course these are just ins and outs and do not tell anytning about where they went, they might as wel have had lunch. Hard to tell something, but I thought I’d share anyway. It does show that all key players check out before the Mishicot Rescue went out and after that they all check back in again. Blue is checking out same time, green is checking in same time.
That is it for now 🙂
- Keep digging!
Dederings Kuss Road report, possible items of interest
At CASO report p137 there is Dederings report about this day. What stands out to me is this:
He speaks of an EXCAVATION site. While Bushman on the group incident list speaks of a BURIAL site. Was Dedering seeing a dug up site where Bushman had already dug some items up?
JD also mentions possible ITEMS of interest, but only talks about the excavation area next or did he forget about the stump that was found? Or what were the items of interest that JD means? Could this refer to the items that Bushman/Seidl refer to (camera, cell phone, purse, clothing, license plate SWH 582) on their group incident log?
