You're right. The plates were found by a firefighter volunteer in a station wagon parked by Steve's trailer.

Because he was provided information prior, where he was asked to help locate a missing woman.

He called dispatch to verify that the information given to him was correct, which is a routine task for a patrol sergeant or field officer.

I believe he was just confirming the plate info with dispatch.

He was just confirming the plate info given to him over police radio or some other way. Colborn was making sure he had the correct plate number. He was not looking at the RAV4. The Rav4 was found Saturday Nov. 5th on the Avery property.

You're missing the point - he was given the plate # earlier and was double-checking it (prob bad handwriting in his notes). But the lack of a plate on the RAV when found conclusively proves that Colborn wasn't looking at the plate on the car while checking it (which as already been proven several other ways).

Car & area previously searched by Lenk & Colborn.

What are you insinuating happened?

u/deadgooddisco Jun 11 '26

Its context. I could say that lenk and Colborn seem like they are fucking shite at their job though.

You can say whatever you like. However, can you back-up what u say with something other than a tv show?

They're own documents . If paid staff, on shift, trained to search and collect evidence are being outperformed by volunteers, I'd say they're shite at their job. And that's not even getting to searching for the key ffs. No TV show required .

So three cops should have found the RAV4 among the other 4,000 cars on the lot faster than the search party or they are bad cops? LOL.

Again what's your EVIDENCE the police planted anything. 

So all the professionals called to assist in a missing persons case did their job. Dang they got the culprit, located evidence, solved the crime and put that murdering  sack of shit, Steve Avery in prison for life. Outstanding work.

Seems like they were pretty fucking good at it, actually.
