They also didn't see the pickup truck in the hay bale. That's the only part that makes sense. Looking for something in the country in the dark with a cellphone flashlight? Not surprised that they couldn't find anything. |

The sheriff didn't have a flashlight with him? Have you ever known a law enforcement officer who didn't carry a big, heavy, BRIGHT flashlight? |

Police vehicles have side-illuminating and front-illuminating lights. They can blind you with their UV power. Maybe they didn't want to find the body. Maybe it was to be "discovered" in the a.m. |

Yes and I personally know of a police officer who was fired for not having a flashlight and not seeing a shooting victim at night. Her life could have been saved. It’s incompetence. This poor man could probably have been saved if he had been found by the sheriff. Instead he lay there all night. There’s a video out there with a reporter walking the road showing the painted areas left by investigators. It suggests a huge debris field which suggests very high speed. The man was thrown pretty far off the road. I hope the people of SD demand a thorough investigation. I think the fix is in though. |

If you think you hit a deer, but you are already home ---- > you don't call the police! Why would you call the police about road kill that you aren't sure exists or where it would be? You only call about a "deer" if you want the police to find the body you know is there. You don't need to tell anybody about road kill (when it is really an animal you killed.) |

| And you don't tweet at 1:30 in the morning saying you got home safe. WTF. |

It’s the not seeing the truck and the hay bale (was the deceased drunk, or had a hay bale fallen off a truck and he hit it?)? That just doesn’t track, especially with the squad there, which, as another pp points out, has powerful lights for just such an event. |

You do if you want a time-stamped recording you can later use to try to dodge a hit-and-run manslaughter charge. "But I called it in! I honestly thought it was a deer.I" Lies. Deceit. MAGA. |

| If he thought it was a deer, then he wasn't paying attention to the road. |

| I read a long report tonight. It's reported...but not confirmed... that he made a 911 call and a local sheriff showed up and they looked around. I'd love to hear from the sheriff because the call can be verified. I once hit a deer late at night who ran into the side of my car with a ton of damage. I stopped but I couldn't find the deer even though I walked up and down the road. I think it was a deer but now I can't be sure. It was in the middle of nowhere but I never read about someone being found dead by the side of the road. This crap happens in the boonies. The facts will come out, let's keep the conspiracy crazies at bay. Where was Hunter Biden that night? |

You must be a city person. During rutting season deer fly across roads late at night. Trust me, they don't stand by the side of the road. |

Huh. If that’s even what happened, sounds a lot like Ted Kennedy/Chappaquiddick. -DP |

Not normally. But if he thought he hit a deer, called the sheriff, searched for it, that eventful drive home could prompt such a tweet at such a time. I'm not saying that he is in the clear, the changing story is certainly dubious. But some of the points that posters are objecting to are explainable. |
