You're quite right, Deb. Even though the term "cistern" is often used in regard to this story I've always had the distinct impression it was more of a septic tank situation. And his wife's lover built a very large "flower box" on top of it - right after Christmas during the height of gardening season in Missouri... lol...
Didn't they also find his driver's license with the body? And the wife's lover's wife also died. It was in a mysterious car accident just 2 months before Walter disappeared. Walter's wife & her lover were convicted of various charges in connection with these murders.
Scottie Priesmeyer has written a book called "The Cheaters: The Walter Scott Murder" which details the murders & investigation. They also run the story on various forensics programs.
Back to Mike's topic!
