    Yep I've noticed that too , areas along 80 east of council bluffs where I used to deer hunt are getting barer by the day ...pheasants are seldom seen in that area anymore either .

    Without a doubt,based on some of the photos of some of the wreckage they’ll definitely be researching dental and medical records for this pileup!

    Nowadays usually the VIN is stamped a number of places throughout a vehicle, too...the car must have burned beyond recognition. Really sad.
