Missing Ind. Boy, 14, Found Dead Alongside His Dog a Week After Disappearance: 'Devastating'

The boy and German Shepard both dead with no ready identification of what killed them.

"Detectives do not currently suspect foul play although Jacob's cause of death will be determined upon completion of an autopsy," Smith said in a statement.

The bodies of Jacob Cole McCarty and his pet German Shepherd, Isabella, were found in a wooded area off Interstate 64 in Corydon, Indiana

Seems the Dog was full grown not like the first image.



Interestingly the boy and dog were found a few mins from another Devil named area it seems he was found on along the hiway not far from this hospital

Probably something they all ate. Or someone had some potent farts in the tent.

Where's Brian Laundrie ? 🤫

I tend to avoid locations so named with 'Devil' after watching many David Paulides videos given the wacko world has become ever so more bizarre. Dunno if it means anything yet, but I noted he was a software engineer for Google.

Well they were not in a tent so rule that out! Both had dogs dead too.

Well reading the actions of JPLs Jack Parsons in Devils Canyon and finding events like missing people do happen in Devil named areas more often, it seems I do wonder. we have a seven devils road and looking that name up I find other states have the very same named areas. You will find this true of all the devil named places.

Yes if there is a Brian (brain) Laundrie (wipe)

Ive been waiting for someone to post this story. Ive been following it closely, because its not far from where I live. I hadnt heard about the second story.

Im wondering what the final tests are going to show. Im wondering if they all drank water that had something in it. I also wonder if they left any other clues with how their bodies were found, like were they in intense pain, and fetal position? Or, did they all perish together within seconds or minutes. I think they ruled out lightning. What about particle beam test from satellite? Sounds absurd, but, I had expected they would have the answers within days, and I think they may have already ruled out poisoning. Im beginning to wonder if they are stalling because they have no clue, or perhaps, because they do know what they died of.

Or are they not wanting to say because whatever it is they don't want the public to know.

According to this story:

The Mariposa County Coroner is awaiting toxicology results from the bodies, which could take several weeks. The case remains ongoing, pending these investigations.

Toxicology results and cellphones/social media account analysis are still awaited.
Following toxicology testing, on September 30, 2021...

Hopefully, we'll know something before this story disappears outta the media.

They haven't ruled out animal attack.Remember a few years ago a mountain lion attacked a few people in California,if a animal attacked one of them and the others tried to fight it off it's could have been the cause.But most likely they just got lost and dehydrated or bad water or food.

I was in Giant City State Park yesterday, specifically to take some pictures at Devil's Standtable Trail. I'm glad I made it out alive!

Lol! You do have to wonder how some of these places got their names. Sometimes they are very nice pretty places.

If they'd died from an animal attack, you'd think it'd be obvious. There'd be bite marks, maul marks, broken bones, gashes, blood, etc. You see somebody who was attacked and killed by a bear or a wolf or a cat you kind of see that they have been physically gouged.

They were all dead. No markings, no violence. Just dead.

On Friday, the Sheriff’s office released a statement to People with the latest update. While no cause of death has been determined, two were conclusively crossed off the list.

First, they’ve officially ruled out use of a gun or other deadly weapon. That, unfortunately, was pretty obvious from the initial examination by first responders.

Second, and this is a big one, they’ve ruled out any exposure to chemicals they could have come into contact with on the trail.

Still looking at toxic algae but that seems doubtful

How many of these places have Bigfoot sightings? Sometimes there is a connection to places named Devil with Bigfoot sightings.

Dehydration?

Heat Exhaustion / Heat Stroke?

Both seem like pretty likely causes given the locaiton.

I'm not sure I understand how they ruled out a lightning strike. They may have been able to rule out a direct strike, but lightning does wild stuff after the initial strike. I've seen cattle and horses get killed by lightning and it doesn't even leave a mark. What happens is, lightning will hit something nearby and it changes the ground potential across the ground. Having your feet in to different places causes current to pass through your body (because your body is a better conductor than the ground) and stops your heart. Several people all dying in a cluster like that is pretty indicative of this type of phenomenon.

ETA - This type of lightning strike has also killed a number of hikers here in Colorado in the mountains. Even worse, it is often caused by what is called OOC lighting, meaning 'Out of Cloud'.

Many times the Devil is associated with Native American legends and so the place names, at least in the U.S. Great Lakes area.

Devil's Lake (Matchi Manitou) had gotten it's name from a native legend of the Powtawatami leader Meteau after his daughter, a good swimmer, drowned in the lake, her body never to be found. Meteau believed she was taken by an evil water spirit called the Matchi Manitou.

Meh, probably someone with latent psychic meta-functions learning to control their emergent powers ... and they had NO intention of hurting anyone and even chose out of they way wilderness areas to "practice" what they were going to do to the a-hole "elite" who are intentionally imploding the world to get their modern feudal society ...

and they're really, really sorry the nice people and especially the wonderful doggies got hurt...

er, maybe?
