    Any murderer trying to get rid of a body, will simply dump it into an open shaft. I highly doubt they would go through all that work, to carry a body so far into an underground mine.

    If those aren't her clothes, then whose are they? Who would take a car all the way out to the desert to throw it down a mine shaft? I fee like these people are uncovering half a dozen crime scenes searching for every one body they're looking for...

    How do you keep yourselves safe from CO2? I have read that CO II will accumulate in an old mine shaft and, because it's colorless and odorless, you won't even know it's there until you pass out and die.
    During a lifetime of exploring the desert, I have made a point of avoiding old mine shafts. They scare the daylights out of me! My hat is off to you!!!

      Gas meter. CO2 is nontoxic but an asphyxiant (displaces oxygen). I carry an oxygen meter that alarms in the event oxygen levels get below 19.5% (~21% is normal).

    I agree with drewbot78. some of those bone looked to me, to be human, although I'm no expert. The parties of interest were just doped up tweekers and I can't imagine that they went through too much trouble disposing of the body. If she is dead, she could be buried anywhere . I applaud the Mojave Underground and the Underground Explorers for their extensive efforts. Good job!

      Do you have proof of that as a fact or is that your hunch? I totally agree with you btw. I was watching another video on here and a woman made a rude comment on her video and I picked a fight with her and she started talking about how she does drugs, how they should be legal and told me that anyone who snitches and a person loses their kids deserves death. I think this was definitely engineered by the woman who lost her kids. I did tell her that anyone who does drugs in front of their kids should have them taken away. She didn’t like that lol.

      Candy Reese yes it is very sad and very true. I don't see how someone can take another life,unless it's Self Defense or someone hurting a child. Here in Ms we have Open Carry and Concealed Carry without the need of a permit and I only carry for self defense, but I don't plan on killing them it's just to wound like shooting the leg. I don't think I could take someones life unless it's either me or them I can take care of one attacker but 2 or more is a different story. I do plan on stopping an attacker not killing then stay there and call 911. I know that either way I would see jail until my trial even shooting in the leg. I live in a very small town and grew up with most of the police our Chief of Police I have known since third grade and he knows I wouldn't flee town he only live a few blocks from me so I doubt I would go to jail just got to court.

This mother didn't even raise her and it seems April had trouble managing her life, along with addictions and mental illness. That April ended up living in the desert with a bunch of disgusting, low-life creeps is sad. I feel for April. She had absolutely no support system, and that includes her so-called mother. RIP April.
