BREAKING:Ravnsborg released a statement at 10:07 p.m. his time w/ lots of details. Biggest things: He says both he+the sheriff missed the victim& #39;s body when they searched the area. Then the sheriff let him drive his car home. Then he returned+discovered the body. Keep reading 1/x
The statement has the AG& #39;s Office letterhead on it but it came through his campaign email, not his work email to the media. The office& #39;s spokesman told me he has no idea about this letter. Story coming. 2/x
Again, a sheriff and the top law enforcement official (whose jobs it is to investigate crimes) say they missed an injured man when they searched at night. 3/x
Ravnsborg said he didn& #39;t call 911 after he found the dead body. He drove to the sheriff& #39;s house to personally tell him.
The top law enforcement official in SD left a dead man by the side of the road (he had been there since the night before) instead of calling 911.

The spokesman for the AG& #39;s Office, who previously answered questions about the incident, said he& #39;s no longer speaking about it b/c it would be inappropriate to do so since this happened on Ravnsborg& #39;s personal, not govt., time. The AG is now using his friend as a spokesman. 7/x
My question for the sheriff is if he searched the area with a flashlight. Also was it within government ethics for the AG to have his chief of staff/spokesman drive back with him on Sunday for a non-work related incident?

Also are there any rules for what you do when you find a dead body? What does it mean that he drove to the sheriff& #39;s house instead of calling 911?
