Body found near ISU Campus

[Cyclonestate78]

Seriously screwed up family.

I was working and going to school in Ames at the time. Not long after, I had a new co-worker (international student) who I found out was living in the same building. I started to ask him about it and (reluctantly) got out of him that he was in the same apartment where the murder happened. He said he got a great deal on it.

*shudders*

Wow... My gf lives in the apartment complex where that domestic murder happened at the edge of Urbandale/Des Moines off of Aurora. The guy was in a standoff with the police, shot a cop in the hand from his deck and then shot his soon to be ex-wife in the head with a shotgun. My gf's building is right next door to the building that happened in and she had trouble sleeping for awhile after that. Personally I know I couldn't live in a place where something like that happened. That would creep me out big time.

Small world, I know the cop that got shot in the hand.

Don't remember this? When did this happen?

I read the previous and read it as shot in the head...big difference.

do the towers have any surveillance cameras for the outside where they could go back and see any suspicious activity

It was on Veterans Day oddly enough. The woman that was killed was a veteran that had served 3 tours in the middle east during this most recent war over there.

That is wrong on so many levels...:no:

Not that I'm aware of. I know they had one up back when Knapp and Storm were imploded, but I don't think it's still there.

The problem is (and was at the time he was discovered missing) is that a lot of surveillance cameras only store the video for a week before being recorded over, so any camera footage that may have caught him was long gone by the time the police and investigators needed it.

Agreed. Just another case of a person with so much going for them being caught up in a relationship with a total loser. This guy made Pierre Pierce look like a boyscout with his criminal record.

ISU Police Director Jerry Stewart did say the body was discovered by an ISU police officer who was conducting a search of the grounds as part of a widening effort to locate missing student Jon Lacina. .... Stewart said the dairy farm area had been searched in February as part of an effort to locate Lacina, but officers had been forced to work through waist-deep snow at the time.

This explains a lot. My biggest question was if they had searched there before how could they have possibly missed this body? Now it makes a lot more sense.

Hmmm, weird.

That building (if I'm thinking of the correct one) is a decent bit off the road (why would he go there) and not that big (to be searched).

 

[cyatheart]

Are they suggesting that building was full of waist deep snow or just the outside? Doesn't look like the building is in bad shape that it would be full of snow.

outside, waist deep snow hard to walk in let alone open a door to a building.

They said that the area was searched, not specifically inside the building. If there was waist-deep snow around the exterior, opening the doors (assuming they open outward instead of inward) would have been darn near impossible.

How long has the snow been melted up there? I haven't been to Ames since last fall so I don't know when the majority of the snow melted up there.

So how would Lacina get in?

End of February

I never thought they would find this kid, I mean they are still looking for Jodi Huisentruit and Johnny Gosch.
