I don't know of any other pics. would love to see them if they exist..

I seem to remember a picture where it was the bottom portion that came off.  The top of that portion was rather jagged and it may have had white and red colors.

I've never seen a color version of the placard or one missing the bottom portion. how long ago do you recall?

About 8 or 10 years ago.

heres a color photo of it - it comes from CNN .......... but I had to search my whole computer to retrieve it!

I am saying that I seem to remember a color photograph of the placard from several years ago.  It looked like it had been torn off but the pictures just posted here look like they have been cut off rather neatly.

It's the same placard on the same grey/black file paper in the other photo's. the one G posted seems to be condensed. this one is in color and noticeable features are there to confirm all the photo's are of the same card.

also, has the the same evidence tag at the bottom.

I think the most interesting thing about this discussion is the assertion that whomever had possession of the placard appeared to lend it to the producers of In Search Of for filming purposes. I must say, this is yet another indication of how sloppy this case got at times. It is inconceivable to me that this could happen. Moreover, considering that Tom Kaye and the CRT didn't see this item makes me wonder if it's been "lost or destroyed" too.

It was different times vs today. a lot of people mix this up. Taking a guess I would gather the sheriff could of been with the placard. it wasn't really something that important to handle. if it was checked for prints when it was found a year before the show. the value is minimal if it would even be used in court. they checked the area twice which pretty much exhausted any further leads it would give. it might be different if this was a murder case.

The placard was found in Cowlitz county. it's the property of Cowlitz county. I made a phone call yesterday but was told to call back on Monday. I'm going to ask if they still have it and if photo's can be provided. If they tell me it's there I can ask them if someone can come a look at the card. you could stop by while in the area concerning the placard location.

Flyjack also believes it's a reproduction. I'm asked him what he see's different.

It looks precisely the same. Even the tear. It's just that with someone holding the placard the right side of it sags which displays the full length of the tear which is not completely visible with the placard attached to the backing.

That's how I looked at it from the start. I thought it could be a reproduction but once I seen the sheriff was involved kind of gave more credibility. it could still be a very good reproduction. would of been easier to make a copy on paper. I doubt anyone would of noticed.....

Shut, when and if you make contact with the Cowlitz Sheriff's Department, please let me know. I'd love to take a look at the placard, and I'll be in the area at the end of May.

Or if they get cranky, I can make a special trip since Cowlitz is only two counties south of me and I can get there in 90 minutes.

I have a couple people eager as well. before anything is considered I have to see what they say tomorrow. it will be up to them to either allow it to be viewed or supply photo's, or even say no to all the above. lets see how far we can get tomorrow..then proceed with getting someone there if access is granted.

Why would the Cowlitz people have the placard or any info - NOW? This is 2019! The placard according to Eng now resides in Washington DC.  :rofl:

They had the card from the start. it was logged as evidence in Cowlitz county. they controlled the evidence. it's possible they sent the card to them. Bob Nix from Cowlitz county is the guy holding the card. If the card isn't there anymore they might have records on the search and pictures.
