Class B First-hand BFRO #7558

Military police find tracks at Ft.Leavenworth

Winter 1976 late afternoon early evening Leavenworth / Kansas City, Leavenworth County, Kansas

Account

In 1976 while stationed at a military installation, the witness was sent to search along the river for a runaway dependent. In fresh snow in heavy cover the party found very large footprints, which the witness and another MP followed a short distance. They stopped after encountering a fresh-garbage-like stench and did not report the prints officially for fear of career repercussions.
