A Dead Body FoundA Chapter by Country Girl46Was it Deb's body they found? If not, whose was it?
An APB was sent out immediately to help find Debbie. People gathered in groups to look in the woods and down by the river. Trained police dogs went hunting with each group.
A man suddenly ran. He had seen a pile of branches just ahead, with a body and he began to yell, "Over here, over here!" When they removed the pile of rubbish underneath. It wasn't Deb, it was an older man. Everyone had been ordered to move away from the body. They could see he had been shot three times. Immediately taped the area off, so nobody could tamper with the evidence. Mr. Frames, a medical examiner and coroner was called to the crime scene. The man was then pronounced dead and taken to the morgue to be examined. Back at the police station, Captain F. Mason, Lt. R. Koda and Sgt. Dunn, friends of Todd's, called him in for a meeting. They had given him orders to stay out of this investigation since he personally knew Debbie. Todd got upset and asked he not be removed and let him stay on this investigation. Lt. Koda ordered him once again to stay away. Todd said, Under one condition and that's any evidence or information that comes in, I will be notified immediately. All of them agreed. As Todd left the office, he went back to Deb's home and sat in a recliner. He began to sob and wondered where she could be. Went through the house looking for clues, but found none. In the meantime, Caleb had already left the state and was headed to KY. He parked the van in the woods, wiped it down so no trace was left behind. A black, S10 Chevy was left there for him to use by one of his friends. He cut the rope, tied to Debs hands and told her the tape would be removed and kept off her mouth, if she didn't scream. Deb shook her head and agreed. Back at the morgue, Mr. Frames spoke to an investigator by the name of T. Peterson. The man that was shot three times, had been dead for three days. Tests were taken and sent to the forensics. The only result he had so far was his blood type, which was O+. Gun shot wound on the left side of the heart, had missed the aorta by a hair. Bullet went through the brain, through the back of the head. A gunshot wound also to the knee. A 32 caliber had been used, the bullet was found back at the crime scene, but needed to go back and see if any more evidence was missed. Results from the forensics would take some time.
