Well over a hundred volunteers, mostly Coast
Guard members and family, gathered early this morning at the
Communications Station to help the FBI search for evidence related to the
murders of Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins and retired Chief
Petty Officer Richard Belisle. The two men were found dead the morning of April
12th by coworkers at the ComSta.
The volunteers were split into groups of twenty and then dispatched to
various sections of Anton Larsen Bay Road, beginning at the ComSta and
going all the way out to the main road, Rezanof Drive
West..
They were instructed to comb both sides of the road 15 to 20 feet out and to
watch for a gun or pieces of a gun, clothing, boots, plastic bags or anything
else that looked out of place. Nearly a dozen people showed up with metal
detectors.
The
search ended just after 11 this morning. A small group of volunteers headed
over to the Dumpsters in Bells Flats to search. No evidence was found in either
area.
