Re memo of SA [REDACTED] to SAC, 8/4/72

---

On 8/7/72 the agents attached to Longview RA conducted a check of the area mentioned in referenced memorandum which also had a map attached. SA [REDACTED] conducted a complete through search of the area starting at County Road 20 and progressing through the area to county road 32. It is felt a thorough walk through search was conducted of the suspect area and it was noted that the area is extremely heavy brush, fallen timber and almost impenetrable and is an area in which there are no residences or farm buildings.

On the County Road 32 side of the suspect area the terrain drops very sharply about 50 feet from the road to the creek bed. Further on the county road 20 side of the suspect area the terrain also drops very sharply to the creek.

It is felt that if a decision should be made to conduct further searching of the suspect area it would be necessary to have 10 agents for a period of two days. The property in question is privately owned with three parcels owned by three individuals.

On 8/7/72 Sheriff EUGENE COTTON who has been involved in this inquiry from its inception furnished aerial photograph copies of the terrain in question which are attached.
