It 1 blue sock found on the body, were also found in the abandoned car. "WE DON'T know why anyone would bring it down here, almost to the sheriff's office," he said. Deputies were able to identify the body quickly because his supervisor reported Dusek missing when he failed to make his regular 7 a.m. call Tuesday for additional customers.

Schellenger said he is almost certain Dusek was killed with his own 9-millimeter gun. The murder weapon was never found, the captain said, but it has been learned Dusek carried a gun which was missing from its place in the glove compartment of his car. SCHELLENGER also said he is certain the murder took place at the remote field where the body was found. "Bone fragments found on the shirt would have been knocked loose if he even was rolled over," he said. Schellenger also cannot explain what caused the area where a scuffle or some other disturbance occurred six feet from the body.

Dusek also was known to have been meticulous in keeping his car and belongings clean. When the car was recovered, sand from the murder scene coverpd both back and front seats of the car. DEPUTIES ALSO are still unable to explain what caused the numerous pinpricks over the back of the victim. None was deep or serious. "There are plenty of questions and no answers.

We are going to need a break. Someone will have to say something," he said. "THIS MAN is almost perfect. He kept the same schedule, was always reliable," the captain said. Dusek also was fanatical about picking up hitchhikers.

"He once jumped on a friend about the danger when he wanted to pick up one," Schellenger said.

Investigators from his office and the city of Gainesville huddled last week to see if any of them had a clue to the shooting murder, NO ONE HAD a lead that had not a 1 ready been checked out and proved to be a dead end. Dusek left his home at 7201 Willowood Monday morning July 2 for his north Florida route for Niveco an Orlando supplier for mobile homes and campers.

Schellenger said he was tracked, client by client up through San Mateo, Palat- ka, Lake City, and then to the Alamo Plaza Motel in High Springs where he spent every Monday night. THE OWNERS said he checked in at 6 p.m. and they never saw him again. He usually returned by 8 p.m. so his wife could reach him through the office if she needed to speak to him.

"We don't know where or with whom he was from the time he left the motel until his body was found the next afternoon around 2 p.m.," the captain said. A REALTOR showing property off the Millhopper extention discovered the body in the sand beside the road cut a hundred yards back in the property. A new car he was testing was discovered the next night parked less than three blocks from the sheriff's office in southeast Gainesville. 10 miles from where the body was found. Dusek's wallet with $11 in it was on the floor board, his pants and clothing, except for his shirt and one (Stntlntl liar Photo by Tom Hamilton) twin Buddy Counts, 15, right, practices chipping golf it i.ii balls Into Daytona Beach litter Darrei, wnne iamer, Benard Counts observes, "This is world's largest gand trap."
