Michael, just to be clear. It's not that I don't trust what Bush found, in fact he is someone I would favor. It's just the reports of his tracking that seem sketchy to me. (Kevin)
I was only using it as an example. I think its reasonable to doubt just about everything first then work from there. I am certainly not being critical in any way and as always - I respect and hold in high regard any and all of your observations and opinions.
I have the feeling that the NJSP didn't care for a local to show them the way. (Kevin)
I believe the NJSP were in over their heads and unprepared for something like this. They stumbled onto Wyckoff then used him to assist. (BTW: I found reports that say Wyckoff lived with Bush, so its possible Wyckoff woke up Bush after being woken up by the Troopers/Lindbergh). Eventually the investigation became structured somewhat but then jealousy entered the mix.
If the NJSP had sent DeGaetano or another trooper along with Bush and recorded everything in detail, then we could make some concrete assessment of his tracking. Once again I am almost in total disbelief that so much important evidence was not captured. (Kevin)
If it weren't for Lloyd having already dichipered the short hand then I would suspect something might be contained in those. Also, I've found some missing pieces in the teletypes, but I am almost positive I've been through all from the March 1 - 10 already. It's where I found the Kelly Statement about the "house wrecking" lumber mentioned in the FBI Summary Report (it is no where else believe it or not).
I still believe the that the approach could have been from Featherbed La and the retreat was via the access road to the chicken coop. (Kevin)
In case anyone doesn't see the chicken coup in the picture (like me) Koehler mentions in one of his reports that he searched the chicken coups next to the Gatehouse for wood during his ladder investigation.
Your theory here seems to imply a drop-off and a pick-up. Am I right?
