Geocachers Make Gruesome Find

April 24th, 2012 by kjwx

There has been speculation it may be that of 59-year-old local man Wyman ‘Wade’ Weathersby, 59, who went missing in early February after going for a walk on the beach.

Personally, this is my WORST fear as a geocacher and I’ve been known to white-knuckle it through those times when police are searching for a dead body here in Wellington, rather than take the risk of being the unlucky finder.

As some of you will be aware, Cumbyrocks and I grew up around our father’s funeral parlour so I’m definitely not squeamish. It has more to do with the weird fact that my geo-plans ALWAYS seems to co-incide with the area being searched.

However, it seems that such finds happen quite often in the big, bad US of A as evidenced by the fact there’s a GC public bookmark called Caches Where Dead Bodies Have Been Found.

You can also read how other geocachers feel about the subject on the GC forums.

    I was FTF on a cache that was later archived after being discovered by the search teams looking for Caylee Anthony in Orlando.

    Looking at this link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=h&source=embed&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=117106854364135896910.00045dfb29991c9cd5ece

    The blue mark is the Anthony residence, the red mark is where she was found. Looking on Lee Vista Blvd. just east of Covington Cove Way is a bare triangular area. This is where the final for the cache was located, and obviously would be part of the search area.
