1981-11-24 Proposed Investigative Procedures

Snoho recently posted this to the FB page & I noticed it looks like something was removed from the 4th page, Tool Box section, line 3. Tool Box - "Already have checked at Joe B __".

Did LE check somewhere else for the tool box? Based on what we know, the only other places J&D visited were the Dorris' and Beckley's. Why would either of those names be removed? Did LE know/believe J&D stopped somewhere else that night and that name needed removed? Could if have said "Smartts" because of the search on 26? The fact the tool box wasn't found there worthy of removal? Did LE conduct searches of other locations besides 26? Was checking Joe B's a friendly, "just making sure j&D didn't leave something behind" check, or were they suspicious enough of him to search his premises for evidence? Same for whatever was redacted from this document. Why remove anything? I'm sorry, that really bothers me. It only makes it appear as if things are being hidden and withheld. Whatever was removed, LE felt important enough to underline in 81 & someone felt important enough to remove before making the document public being hidden and withheld. Whatever was removed, LE felt important enough to underline in 81 & someone felt important enough to remove before making the document public.

Lotsa good questions but there's no indication Mike even asked these ones. Which i would think would be critical, to fit alongside existing evidence if at all possible.
