Go on the back again.
01:25
The brush is going to be too thick, I can't see into it.
01:30
about 12 to the drone picture.
01:32
Start a deck down under and work the way back close to the brushline on the water side to see if you get the picture.
01:42
Okay,
01:45
I wanted the rain in it.
01:48
All right.
01:50
All right, from that hot spot, we're pushing left-down,
01:56
kind of try to do a little line search in here,
01:59
so just kind of heads it up if he's worked out one side of the other.
02:04
Ken, you copy that?
02:10
I copy.
02:12

02:22
I'm going to hear in the wood line.
02:25
He's got under probably on.
02:29
The next one's gone.
02:36
Let's keep the noise down to wait now.
02:38
I see you have a lot of wind.
02:42
Everyone is gone.
02:43
Let's keep the noise down to it.
02:51
Mike, we got to keep getting the show right under the drone.
02:57
I just walked the next one of the drone that's coming down.
03:00
All right, stand by one.
03:06
Taxray 13 is 14 error.
03:08
We're directly under the drone by the dumpster.
03:12
Hey 10, the problem is we have that dog is in here, so all the panelists are in here.
03:18
This guys decide to exit out.
03:20
We need everybody lining this tree line.
03:23
We have the personnel.
03:28
Two central.
03:30
3K92.
03:32
3K9.5 left this way, please.
03:37
Two, four.
03:41
Switchellee, sir.
03:43
Tax 314 to Morania.
03:46
Right.
03:47
Just west of where you are over the tree line, I'm shining my flashlight.
03:52
I hear branches mapping in there.
03:56
Closer to the water side.
03:58
Were you guys yelling anything? Because probably about two minutes ago, just before I hear one lap, I heard clear distinct yelling in that area.
04:05
No, I heard that as well.
04:06
I thought it was you guys.
04:08
No, not up.
04:09
All right, we're going to try and work our way around.
04:12
Just information, this is where I was talking to the suspect initially before he started working on.
04:18
We're going to keep making an announcement so everyone can just refrain from the L&R anything.
04:24
Do we care?
04:29
Can you just find this again?
04:32
Yeah, I think I'm coming down on it now.
04:39
It's a pretty small signature, it might be wild-lives.
04:47
3K9-9-4-0-3.
04:49
It's a little east side the last bridge.
04:54
Arneeta bridge, same line, the proper.
04:57
Bobby on up.
05:03
Drone operator, how far away from the dumpster are you on that seat signature?
05:09
I'm directly over it right now.
05:12
I can change my lights for you.
05:18
I just change my lights are flashing red and blue on the draft.
05:26
Is it wrong? Does it look like there's an opening there?
05:31
Yeah, it opens up there.
05:34
No more.
05:40
Hey, see you up there, can you come down a little bit more so you get a better and more accurate location?
05:46
Yeah, I was just trying to go up so that way you guys can find me.
05:50
Yeah, we're resting...
05:53
A little more.
05:55
Yeah,
05:59
it looks like it's gonna be wild life, I'm not sure yet, though.
06:10
To the land unit just confirming you're working on your way through the brush with lights on.
06:15
That's us.
06:17
This guy could lay down five feet from us with as dark as the water is, so we got our lights on.
06:25
We copy. You're going to run with yourself.
06:30
Okay.
06:31
We got three guys in a row and we're just kind of pushing through this stuff.
06:40
Who was talking to this guy?
06:42
Who got on the radio and said they were talking to it prior to him going into the woods?
06:47
Okay, sir, 14.
06:51
All right, 14, in relation to the restaurant, like,
06:56
was it at the wood line right here or was it on the seawall?
07:00
So directly between 10-900 and the dumpsters where the heat signature is, directly in the middle there's opening, and now it might use on the other side of it, on the water side.
