Today, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office assisted by other searchers including a cadaver dog searched an area in Southeastern Humboldt for a missing person. According to Lt. Ken Swithenbank, “We got a lead on a 2009 missing person case [and] followed up in the Alderpoint area. We searched an area that we got a tip on but weren’t able to locate anything related to a case.”

At this time, law enforcement is unwilling to confirm where they got the tip and who the missing person was.

They aren’t obligated to tell the taxpayer anything that would jeopardize an investigation.

Here’s hoping they resolve the case and find the remains, the family has been in suspense all this time.
Tips come in many guises and this one was tragic, hopefully there is closure for all of those involved.

It amazes me the lack of compassion that comes from people these days.

That’s old dog looks like it likes riding on boats, cadaver dog? Comfort dog more likely.
Where’s the doggy’s scuba tank?

Now that the bastard is dead that killed him, it must be “Builder Bob” they are looking for.

One can only hope that the bastard that killed him is dead…if this is Robert “Bobby” Tennison they are looking for.
