I know you guys have heard the story of Dave Bocks who was dumped in the furnace of a Uranium plant (currently under demolition) in Fernald, Ohio (near Cincinnati). I visited the Fernald site this Saturday evening. Located out in the middle of nowhere, we (me and a friend) proceeded to drive up the long driveway to the former Feed Productions Processing Center. I snapped many photos of the property. We were stopped at a security checkpoint at which we were ordered to stop taking photos and to the turn around and leave immediately. I will try to post some of the photos here soon. Very, very interesting. You can visit the official website (www.fernald.gov) to read about the cleanup. A staff member told me that Dave Bocks remains were disposed of as radioactive waste because of so much contamination.

You've recently been to the Uranium plant that Dave Bocks was killed in? Wow! I've been to Ohio recently, but was at Cleveland, no where near Cincinnati. And you spoke to one of the staff people he admitted that Dave Bocks remains were found. I know that in the UM segment, a pair of glasses, a set of keys, a bone fragment and a wire bended into three loops were found in a furnace/oven. I can't wait to see your pictures of the plant.

One question has yet to be answered: why was he killed?

Well there is very little left of the site. All of the buildings, minus the tower are gone. The DOE and Fluor Fernald are working vigorously to clean up the site. He didn't admit Dave Bocks remains were found but that his bone fragments (obviously part of his remains) were disposed of.

With the cooperation of DOE public relations officials, I am visiting the Fernald site next Friday for a tour. I was told I am being granted permission to take photographs and I will TRY to get them posted (although my scanner isn't working at present).

I've also been told that they have pictures of the remains inside the sealed drum.. although it has been shipped off to a radioactive waste site (out west). These pictures should be interesting.

This is just my opinion, but I think that Dave Bocks may have been slain because he knew about misplacement of hazardous waste- maybe nuclear waste, at the plant site. I don't remember exactly what they said on the segment, but one gentleman alluded to the contingency of improprieties going on at the plant...something about emissions being hazardous, or something to that effect. What was it? I can't remember.

Thats terrible for Bocks and his family. I mean, this is a twisted story. Some evil person is walking among us- the man or persons who took Dave Bocks' life.

Actually, I was in Cleveland last November, because we had went to see Reverend Ernest Angley in Akron. The trip was wonderful. But it sure conjured up some funny ideas...I thought about the torso killer who had once lived in the Cleveland vicinity, and the black Dahlia case of Elizabeth Short in California. I did not realize that I may have been closeby to the Nuclear plant where Dave Bocks met his fateful, premature end...

It wasn't a nuclear plant. I talked to a woman who used to work there and she thinks Bocks was killed because he say/heard something about drug deals going on during the graveyard shift.
