REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO USE GROUND PENETRATING RADAR
AND TO CUT CONCRETE OF BASEMENT/ITEMS TO BE SEARCHED FOR
29. For the reasons outlined in paragraph twenty-eight, I am requesting a search warrant
to use ground-penetrating radar. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical
method that uses radar pulses 10 image the subsurface. This nondestructive method uses
electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF/VHF frequencies) of the radio
spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures. GPR can have
applications in a variety of media, including rock, soil, ice, freshwater, pavements and
structures, In the right conditions, practitioners can use GPR to detect subsurface
objects, changes in material properties, and voids and cracks.’ This ground-penetrating
radar search would be done with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
civilian experts. The purpose of using this ground-penetrating radar would be to
determine if there were any voids, cavities, or disturbances in an area where potential
bodies may be buried or secreted. Afler the ground-penetrating radar is utilized, Tam
seeking permission to cut any concrete where the ground-penetrating radar detected voids
or chasms. Iam also seeking permission to cut the concrete wherever the experts from
the FBI deem appropriate. I am also seeking documents, notes or diaries, whether in
