Cowboy boots spotted along the water's edge south of Clover Island were the first thing a surveyor noticed Monday before finding the skeletal remains.

Maybe the poor soul should not have worn 'cowboy boots'?

The Kennewick cops seem to be using up all their fancy cop equipment. I'm sure they will end up with at least 27 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. But I wonder if they will be able id the body, much less catch the perp. That is, if there is even a body there, which doesn't appear certain from the story.
I'm constantly appalled by the english used by so-called "journalists".
"....who had apparently froze to death in his sleep.."
To say nothing of the lack of any kind of substance to the story, like any missing persons in the area.
Wow - his second time finding a body!
Back in the 70's, after Jimmy Hoffa had vanished, I was doing a topo at the old Ford plant on the Hudson in Edgewater, NJ. The site had that abandoned industrial site feel. I was pushing throught the waist high weeds and see a fresh, bloody bone sticking out of the weeds. My first thought: "I've found Hoffa!" Get closer, it was just a deer carcass that someone had tossed off the overpass. Big relief!

A couple years ago I had to locate 17 miles worth of monuments for the ROW on the NYS Thruway, so basically 34 miles worth of deer bones...because they would get hit and make it to the woods, and croak. It seemed where there was a monument there was a dead deer, some were just in different stages of stink!!
In the late 1970's, during the Atlanta missing and murdered children episode, I was doing a topo for a proposed industrial site in the area where all this occurred. We had cut out the lines and staked it one day and were going to run the levels the next day. As we were walking in that morning I saw afoot and leg sticking out of the bushes. My first thought was that I had found one of the missing children. Luckily, it was just a wino that had wandered down the cut line and passed out.

Could it be whatshisname that jumped out of the plane with a huge amount of money years ago?
D.B. Cooper. This would be a couple hundred miles from his flight line.
yep Mark, a couple hundred miles upstream beyound a few major dams on the river. I suppose he could have got caught on a barge and...
