Summary
After a Jack Russell named Choppers ran off near Camp Three Trail, West Side Drive, and Fox Lake Road on April 6, 2012, residents organized a search that continued through at least April 20. Posts describe searching roads, woods, trails, the airport area, and several named locations.
Evidence limits
The archived thread contains no confirmed recovery or later outcome. It is evidence of the search effort and the places residents used to orient one another, not proof of the dog’s eventual fate.
