So wild that it's a poo-analysis manhunt!

Now that the story is out, I wonder if there are people in the area leaving the team some pretty awesome voicemails. "look, I just know it's me, been sending y'all morse code in creamed corn, take me now"

Regardless though this would make a fascinating book or long read. The poo-analysis infrastructure alone would be interesting to learn about.
