Did either of you note that the #2 man in the D.C.P.D., Gainer, was just appointed Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police? Perhaps a nice fat payoff for keeping another Congresscritter out of the slammer?
It is Glover Rd that is within the park, up on the top of the "ridge/plateau" and which, just north of Picnic Site #17, reaches some 250+ yds from the body find site, across some ever-more-declining woods and scrub, then beginning to decline more sharply, but spine dumped (it would seem) just beyond the fallen tree, where the steep slope begins down to BB Road.
Perp would have had to go either
1. 150 yrd from BB (no parking, across creek and up steep slope) or
2. 375 yrd from Grant Rd bridge (no parking, no creek, last 250 yrds slaunch up along side of bluff) (sunglasses found where the 250 begin)..or
3. 300 yrds from Picnic Site 17 (gentle downslope, then becoming more difficult with slippy leaves, brush, fallen tree)/or
or 3a. From Glover c80 yrds N of PS17, no parking, some 250 yrds WNW to body site.
BOTH THE "3" ROUTES involve more risk of being seen/noticed, for they cross Glover, then after say 50 yrds more cross a maintained hiking trail (WRdgTrl) before declining...the perp would have more of a risk being seen...
But my info is this body was placed after about 5 AM in Daylight time, so pitch dark when arrived, then perp could leave openly by day...would help if he had someone to drive car, so not relying on parking off these little streets, only PS17 has a few parking places...
By the way, from jogging along Broad Branch right outside the park, I can confirm that from the street into the park is a steep up slope.
We still don't know where Bill Clinton was for about five days from late April until May 2, 2001. We know Hillary was in Manhattan for a pizza lunch with Al D'Amato and Ed Koch at the time of Bush's White House luncheon on April 30. Condit was at the president's table at that luncheon.
The best chance they had to ensure that justice was brought to bear on Gary Condit has escaped because of police incompetence. :(
Douche Bag!
I don't think Chief Ramsey could tolerate the additional weight of carrying a weapon, what with his epaulets, myriad of ribbons, badges, cordoned cord around his neck, offical Third World scramled eggs captain's hat, and clown shoes.
I followed Broadbranch from Nebraska Ave (southerly direction mostly) down past the DC cop car (with his colored lights flashing) who was guarding all the shiny, freshly painted bike rack/crowd corral railing along the side of Broadbranch Rd. And then I turned around a ways past Brandywine (in a private drive on the right side of BB) and drove past the site from the other direction, turning left off BB at Grant and through that neighborhood out to Connecticut Ave. and then on home.
It was dark along Broadbranch where it runs into the park; it was very dark. It was very, very dark. At the point where the police had placed the barricades (north of where the DC cop was parked) there was dense woodsy growth right out to the road. Because it was so very dark I was unable to tell if the hill went up or down; so I'll have to go back during daylight to check it out better. But where the DC cop was parked (north of Brandywine) it looked to me like the landscape dropped. And I noticed that the DC cop was parked in a convenient little paved pull-off spot. At the time I was there (1am), I only saw two cars driving in the northbound direction. When I stopped and turned around to go back out of there, I neither saw nor passed any cars at all coming southbound. This road is not heavily traveled late at night, even with the big news story to draw curious (nosy) folks like me.
Anyway, I will go back and check it out during the daylight hours, and report back (if anybody cares).
Hmmm, that may explain some things. Gonzaga is a Catholic high school here in DC. If he went there, this may explain how he missed Chandra Levy's body for over a year, and Gore_ War_ Vet's "stolen" truck parked a block from his HQ for two weeks. Ask any St. John's HS alumni and they'll say the same thing. :-)
Pat Buchanan is a Gonzaga graduate.
