My guess is he was executed, the body was stored somewhere else while the search was going on, and then he was dumped there later.

That seems like a lot of work.
And why not dump him further away if you are hiding the body for months anyway.
That's understandable, but I can appreciate that when you don't really know where to search other than 'around this area', covering every square yard of that much ground would require a ton of time and people.
If only he had the FanDual app and his phone with him. The DCI would have wrapped this up in November.
Also, according to a spokesman for the Cajun Navy, they did NOT concentrate on the area where the body was found because they were told that area had already been searched extensively. I can't find that quote in print, but that is what I took from the interview.

There was a man from the Cajun Navy interviewed on tv this morning saying we were told that area had already been searched extensively.

I love some of your imagination, but in all reality, dude has probably been laying in that field since he went missing. I'm no farmer but I know tractors have been in every field around me this week so I would assume it's true of where they found him as well. Is there a chance someone abducted him, killed him, dumped him? Sure. I'm guessing fella was either high, drunk, or mentally unstable, got out of the truck and started walking. Made it 1.5 miles sat down or laid down from being tired and cold and just froze to death.
So the body was well hidden and they moved the body to a place where it could be found easier? That doesn't make any sense.
Unless they were sending a message to someone. Not saying this is what happened but that would be a reason for wanting a body to be discovered.
That scenario is definitely more than likely but then someone needs to start answering questions as to why that area was either deemed “already searched” or it was gross negligence whoever was searching that area.
They had daily search parties for weeks. I don’t live in Iowa anymore but was back for the holidays and by all reports there wasn’t snow on the ground and it was reported dogs did not pick up a scent.
Only 1.5 miles away from the truck? I would think that would get covered in the first couple of days of not the first day.
Agreed, but considering several law enforcement agencies are stating that area had been searched extensively, this seems odd.
Who knows what that area looked like months back. I don't remember the exact weather, but I'm pretty sure it was miserable during that time going from rain to snow on and off. If it was in an area with tall grass, a ditch/ravine, hidden because he was trying to stay warm, it might not have been so obvious.
Plus, humans are dumb. I can't tell you the number of times I've looked up and down for something only to be staring directly at it. My wife calls it my "man eyes".
They had the local school for the blind searching that area, apparently.
Coworker drove past the field yesterday and said the rest of field looked freshly worked except for the patch where they found him. He had no idea at the time what it was about so he wasn’t looking to hard, was just curious about the sheriffs cars in the middle of the field. That was a little after 2 he thinks.
If he was trying to stay warm why wouldnt he just walk back to his truck that was 1.5 miles away?
I don't make rational decisions all the time when I'm drunk. I would imagine rationality is impacted by drugs/alcohol/metal instability.
