The Authorities (or lack there of)

Perhaps one of the greatest bungles of this entire situation was how Robertson County authorities handled this situation. From the Search Team, that showed up a year later, to the Sheriff. Perhaps tragedy could have been avoided if the situation hadn't occured in such a po - dunk area of our great state.

The Search Team:

Perhaps too much weed was a contributing factor to why the Search Team didn't leave until a year later. This rare photo of the elite Robertson County Search Team shows them "preping up" for the Search. Ironically, Spud's "bag" was missing from the evidence list.

Zackeriah B. Hosiah, Adams, TN Historian:

"Now let me ask you something, what kinda idiots get all tanked up and go messing around with things that they don't understand. You don't see me running around in graveyards late at night, jus' a whizzing on tombstones and saying, 'Fast as Fast can be, you can't catch me.' No, I tell ya' from all the old strories, those boys were just plain dumb. And besides, the Vols were playing that weekend. What were they a doin' out in the woods on a football weekend anyway?" Needless to say, he wasn't much help.

Joeseph Z. McDoogle, Robertson County Sheriff

The greatest screw up of this whole situation was the infamous Robertson Country Sheriff, Joe McDoogle. After being called out from his son's football game about the missing men, Sheriff McDoogle remarked, "My son's playing football, the Vols are on the radio and I've got a good 'drunk' on, let the Search Team deal with it!" Needless to say, the Sheriff went back to drinking and watching the game.
