March 20, 2002 myself with my search dog Valorie and Michelle with her sar dog Yogi located Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis' remains on Ward Weavers property in Oregon City.

I wrote a report and gave one to Oregon City PD, Portland office of the FBI, and to each of the families.

In my report (You can review copies of it in my free book "Search and Rescue"). I informed the authorities exactly where each of the bodies were.

This after the OCPD, State of Oregon Cert. SAR Dogs and Federal FBI dogs all failed to find anything in their 7 searches of Wards' property.

The FBI informed us to "Back off" as they were watching Ward.
It was their case so we backed off after I reported our findings. In all reality, they could have gotten a search warrant based on our findings and recovered the remains immediately. Instead on Aug 25, 2002, they hadn't done a damn thing. I was pissed and contacted a Senator in Oregon who made the FBI go in the next day and use their "ground penetrating radar" to confirm my findings which they did and they recovered both remains exactly where I said they were.

Even Ward Weaver during his arrest interview informed them I was 100% correct.

The FBI and OCPD FUBAR'ed this case. Refused to apologize to Michelle, myself, or to the families for their mishandling of this case and refusal to listen to me.

This is just one example of 100's of documented finds in Oregon and Washington that i've made over the years and law enforcement dislikes me doing "Their job" for them.

The victim's families and MSNBC Dateline into Thin air story gave us 100% credit for the finds.
