How I solved a kidnapping/murder case.

02-25-98 98-1150-015. Darke Co. Ohio. Lynn Topp Missing Person. 0400Hrs. Prepped for flight. 0615 Flew to Columbus, Ohio. Darke Co. Greenville, Ohio. Met with Sheriff Toby Spencer and Detectives working this case. Rossburg, Oh.

Obtained a scent article, worked their pov's, residence, shed and tools. Then did track to where Lynn was abducted.

Drove to nearby city PD ref: a wma who claimed he had Lynn for a satanic ritual. Did vehicle check for scent id on Oh. 2 dr. Brown Phoenix 1230 Hrs. No alerts. Went back to other areas of interests and cleared more areas.

Went to a pig farm and val gave death alerts in a dig debris pile and on the bucket of a scoop tractor. Alerts in one area searched. Cleared vehicle and surrounding structures for scent evidence.

My SAR Dog Valorie alerted to the scoop of the tractor so I just followed the tire tracks to a large debris pile 10 feet high.

Farmer claimed there were three fresh dead pigs under the pile

Yet my SAR Dog alerted to the missing girls scent there as well.

I told the sheriff to get a search warrant. He did, she was there.

Sheriff wrote me later and told me that my search dog Valorie was 100% correct. They dug up Linn’s remains right where SAR dog Valorie said they were. Suspect cut her face and fingers off.

Wrapped her in plastic, buried her five feet deep, pour gasoline on top of her, put a 20 foot pile of debris on top. They dug because of Val’s alerts and found her remains. Suspect committed suicide in barn during the digs.

Respectfully

Mr. Harry Oakes
