How do you know that the property where Chao drowned is 101 Schneider Lane? Has this been confirmed? This was raised as a possibility in the piece by David Zhang... see post 71. Apparently this property is currently owned by William and Jamie Amelio and there is tons of information about them that is easily available.
Does it not seem more likely that the property where the drowning happened is off of Byrd Ranch Rd i.e. there is a deep looking pond right where McCall Creek Rd intersects with Miller Creek Cemetery Rd?
And which property does Mitch McConnell and Elain Chao own?
“How do you know that the property where Chao drowned is 101 Schneider Lane?”
Read the article at the bottom of my comment. Four or five paragraphs into the newsarticle it lists that address.
Also, read the report as authored by the Blanco ESD #2. It is embedded in the same article. It lists the address.
Below is the link to the article from the Austin American-Statesman that can hopefully put to rest your doubts.

Ok... a bunch of information just came out and it’s confirmed that the drowning happened at 101 Schneider Lane. The above is the report from the fire department. Here is the ‘Incident Narrative’...
INCIDENT NARRATIVE
Blanco County ESD 2 was dispatched to assist Blanco County ESD 1 for a reported water rescue. Engine 81 went en route, and while en route, Engine 81 contacted dispatch for updated info and directions. Directions were given to be on JW Ranch at 101 Schneider Ln. Johnson City, TX. Engine 81 arrived on the scene with Medic 32 already on the scene with deputies. The engine crew walked to the scene due to the terrain and accessibility of the location. Once on location, I was given an update on the situation from Medic 32 who had command. The report given by command was 1 vehicle in the water with a possible victim trapped inside the vehicle. The vehicle was completely submerged underwater. The Deputies were in the water standing on what they believed was the vehicle, trying to gain access to the possible victim inside the vehicle. Engine crews donned appropriate PPE gear for the rescue and set up scene lighting. Two-man search crew was deployed to search the rest of the bank of the pond for possible victim(s). Dispatch was contacted by command for the possible dive team to make a location, but no dive team was available. Deputies were still in the water attempting to gain access to the victim. Additional fire units arrived on the scene. Medic 32 requested Medic 71 to make the location. Chip 2 and Medic 71 arrived on location. The tow truck arrived on location and was attempting to reach the vehicle with tow chains from the other bank but was unable due to distance.
The two deputies who were in the water standing on the submerged vehicle requested tools to break the window of the vehicle to perform a possible rescue. One EMS crew member donned water rescue PPE and entered the water with a Hallagan tool. One Firefighter entered the water wearing proper water PPE relaying tools to attempt rescue, several tools were used to attempt access to the victim. A two-man search team completed a search of the pond with no victims found. A two-man search team was then tasked with relaying tools to assist in rescue operations. Tools used were the Hallagan tool and the Pike Pole. Command stayed on shore to monitor safety and progress. The victim was successfully extricated from the vehicle and brought to shore by the rescue team. Once the victim was on shore, medical care was provided. The engine crew assisted with patient care. Command contacted medical control and resuscitation efforts were seized. For patient medical report see Medic 32 patient report. Engine 81crew remained on scene with the medic crew to assist in cleanup and equipment decon. Engine 81 was released by command and returned to service.
Here is the article in the Austin American-Statesman written about this...

Aaaaargh... I was just preparing a posting when you beat me to it.
“ McConnell gave no specific reason for the timing of his decision, which he has been contemplating for months, but he cited the recent death of his wife’s youngest sister as a moment that prompted introspection. “The end of my contributions are closer than I’d prefer,” McConnell said.”
Today’s news.
Not as messy as a horse’s head, but message delivered anyway.
The timing of Mitch’s ‘retirement’ sure does seem suspicious...
“The timing of Mitch’s ‘retirement’ sure does seem suspicious...”
Suspicious. Logical.
