Looking at historical imagery in Google Earth, there has been a LOT of work done to that property since 2014, prior to her going missing. New, large building with lots of dirt work, just for starters.

Yes. I know that isn't a backhoe.

 

[Kimster]

They must’ve seen some kind of disturbed ground if they brought in a backhoe.

I hope they find something to strengthen the case.

 

[Guess Who]

Yes. I know that isn't a backhoe.

yep. Skid steer. Totally different workload than a backhoe. More for pushing/moving stuff than actual digging. Good for moving piles of brush and materials or to lift slabs of concrete, which could definitely be of benefit here to clear the area.

 

[Guess Who]

As roundpeg said, not a backhoe. This is for moving stuff more than digging. Think of our conversations in the McStay case.

 

[RoundPeg]

 

[Guess Who]

Not saying they don't have an actual backhoe there, but the one they were calling one, is not one.

 

[RoundPeg]

The backhoe comment. Now, they're gonna dig.

 

[Kimster]

I wonder if someone saw any of those fancy drones in the area before the search? Supposedly they can sense things underground.

Now that's a backhoe!

That would depend on the drone setup. It wouldn't be the kind you can just go buy. The ground penetrating radar stuff needs to be directly over what they are scanning because it reads the difference in density and the signal needs to be directed down and then back up to the sensor/computer. They sure might be able to get a sense of where to send the ground unit to though with some special lenses in looking for anomalies.

Most likely they were clearing areas with the skid steer for the dogs to be able to work better, then bringing in the digging equipment where the dogs alerted.

Hopefully they found something since they are bringing in the actual digging machinery now and hopefully that family is squirming and hers gets some closure.

 

[Guess Who]

woooweeeeee! These things are expennnnnnnsssssive!

Ground-Penetrating Radar on a Drone | Drone Arrival

Drone-borne ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical method of surveying in media such as soil, rock, fresh water and ice that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface.In short, it enables “seeing” through the surface of the ground.

Is this what was just used in Rounds? Apparently the technology is something some part of government forbade but then it was appealed or overturned and I think okay now and can't be banned BUT Dylan's mom said FBI couldn't use them for some similar reason.

Half kidding but I have to wonder what some at top levels are worried people will find if they can see beneath the surface of the earth...

and since it's the government not wanting it to be used, nothing will get done about it until somebody in the government needs it. That's the only time things seem to get done in the government is when it directly affects them. That's exactly what happened many years ago when you could easily pick up the wireless calls on a scanner. Somebody in congress' family got their call where they did something to get busted by their phone call being listened to over one. Voila. It became law that scanners couldn't pick up that wave of signal. Nothing was done for years after complaints until it finally directly affected a higher up.

Sure easy to think of it that way, isn't it? underground bunkers...stashes...bodies... hidden equipment...

Yep all those thoughts and more come to mind don't they...? What ARE they hiding and just what ALL has been hidden over the years...? Massacres? Another world under there? Another species they have walled off? ELVIS protected underground because he is a national treasure???!!!

I didn't know that one but have absolutely no trouble believing it. Yeah the laws don't apply to some of them and WHEN they are enforced against them, then they cry for change.

That's just one example I can think of right off hand. It's also how a lot of the drunk driving laws got more punishment where it used to be treated similar to speeding.
