Just the facts:

Big Bend National Park (TX) Falling Fatality

Joseph H. Gottschalk, 52, of San Antonio, Texas, died in a hundred foot fall from the South Rim
trail in the Chisos Mountains on June 21st. Gottschalk arrived in the park the day before and
stopped at the visitor center to ask about hiking to the South Rim. Visitors to the South Rim
found items near the rim’s edge belonging to the victim on the 21st, then discovered his
body about 100 feet below the rim’s edge. They hiked down late that evening and reported
the death. An investigative team hiked to the scene early on the morning of June 22nd and
confirmed Gottschalk’s death. A recovery team comprised of staff from all park divisions
recovered the body.

BTW all deaths in park are treated as homicides until proven otherwise ... must be all that
FLETC time.

Why do I get the feeling this will be on CSI next season.

Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

http://www.fletc.gov/

Same place that does the training for F.B.I. and B.O.P. At some point in a park service L.E. status
career ... you end up at FLETC. The new guys always seem to come out with the "excuse me ... I AM a
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER!" attitude. Deparment of the Interior L.E.'s tend to be very careful
about following up on investigations. After spending all that time at FLETC you don't want to just
let all that investigative training go to waste.

I wish the X Files could do it.

Moulder, there is absolutely nothing supernatural about the way that bag stayed on his genitals. I'm
going back to the hotel.
