Police beat LRPD to search field near England for Glasgow

This morning, LRPD spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings said that a team from the University of Arkansas would use ground-penetrating radar to search the area tomorrow. He said a team from the Army had already been over the field with their equipment, but added their radar was built to detect mines so possibly didn't go deep enough. At the scene, an officer in a knit cap embroidered with LRPD who didn't identify himself said that weather permitting, the search would go on tomorrow. Nearby neighbors said the field has been under 24 hour surveillance by officers for about a week now. Two unmarked police cars sat near a red farm shed adjacent to the field today.
There are several homes with a clear line of sight on the field where police are preparing to search. Joyce Bradshaw, who lives in a house about 150 yards up the road from the field, said that she could see how it might be possible to bury a body there unnoticed. "That wouldn't surprise me, because there's always equipment down at the farm headquarters," referring to the red shed at the end of the field.
Richard Williams, who lives in a trailer at the intersection of 161 and Old Dirt Road about 75 yards from the field, said that he has lived in his home for around 15 years. He said that unless he and his wife weren't home at the time, it would be hard to bury a body in the field without someone knowing it, especially if heavy equipment was used.

"the farm where Glasgow's body is buried belongs to local farmer Jerry Morton"
Oops.

Seems to me that the man who farms it would have recognized a disturbed area of dirt the next time he went over it after the alleged burial. Digging and filling a hole versus plowing, disking or leveling a field? Pretty easy to tell the difference.

We're talking about moderate Republicans, of course. That doesn't mean they're welcomed these days in their own party, though.

Police close the Occupy Little Rock camp, perhaps the last Occupy encampment on public land.
