It's Friday morning and the latest newstory online is still saying no actual remains, even clothing, have been physically secured, just maybe ten dogs all trained to point at human cadaver smells still insisting on further digging. At least the job is being done carefully and systematically which is best for minimizing doubt about the meaning of whatever is there.
The site is located off the main roads a few miles, but in the rockhound area on the south end of the Topaz rhyolite flow where the best topaz digs are located. A bad place to dump a body if you don't want it to be found someday. This exact spot was on my list of future rockhounding expeditions.
Newstory says Josh's family is asking for more release of any information. Yesterday the radio news was stating that the actual remains of Susan Powell had been located. Good idea to question reporters' accuracy or even the police statements when they're going that wild with it. They are also now denying specifically that they went there because of anything they found in Ely or Washington searches recently, insisting instead that this general area has long been on their list of places to check out. Susan's friends are now saying that this is the exact spot Josh and Susan camped when they got lost looking for the geode beds. That's really stupid. The Geode beds are clearly marked by signs and generally available literature of many kinds as on an entirely different road more than ten miles north and running east-west past the other end of the Topaz range. Nobody is going to make that mistake. That just makes the just-now revealed recollections of the friends look made up.
