Central In | In December 2008 a young fellow about 20 years old had attended a party and on the way home he drove through some fields at night. He had a 1 ton Chevy truck with dual wheels. The ground wasn't very soft at the time and he drove through one field, drove through an old fence half way down, followed the fence row until he came to an open ditch. this was all on the old home farm behind me. He got it turned and followed the ditch until he came to a hole where tile had broken down right near the ditch. He lost sight of the ditch until he drove right into it.
He got out and dropped his keys behind the truck. Apparentantly he was pretty stoned and shook up as he wound up in the ditch. A big rain came and his body was buried under debris with only his feet and some legs were not covered up. Even then his feet were covered by mud...not buried though.
A white corner of the rear right bed did show from my house, but I thought it was a piece of trash blown from the highway and it was very muddy and unfrozen. Finally after nearly a month of him being missing, a friend spied the tip of the truck from the highway. The body was missing still and a heliocopter search began.. I went back there and they said to go back home as they were going to bring a bloodhound. When the bloodhound came, it followed my tracks right to my yard. I told them that it was just my tracks. Anyway, the body was soon found and the tv people and a whole bunch showed up. A mike was shoved in front of me even. Gobs of vehicles were drivng back to the ditch. Strange thing was, this was the very first day that the ground had been frozen since the accident and sure enough, the ground thawed out enough in the low ground that the last vehicle leaving [the wrecker with the truck] broke through and to be winched out clear to the road.
