Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe they meant LIDAR.
Doesnt LIDAR just bounce light off of objects?
Yeah that's the surface topography one I think. You'd need specifically ground penetrating radar if you're looking for bodies I think. Assuming of course all they did was bury them and they didn't like mulch up whoever they wanted to disappear first.
Sonar?
That's what I thought so too but when I did a quick search eelier I did see some underground results. I will have to do more digging.

Maybe they meant a Magnetometer or ground penetrating radar.
These aren't just a little device you pin on your shorts though. You might tow it in a trailer behind a 4 wheel motorbike over a grid pattern.
Or for the ground penetrating radar pop it on a small private plane and do a series of flybys
I don't know anything about this other than what I've seen on Time Team (and supposition), but I think that might be ok if you're trying to measure the size and density of a mineral deposit, but I don't think you'll be able to detect a grave.
I think I'm conflating GPR with... something else to do with magnets, but I still don't think you're going to detect a grave from a plane.
Isn't the gpr the one they use to detect bits of wall and stuff and cops use to detect recently dug ground (because it's not as compacted). Of course if they hid the bodies during construction it might not work so well as it would all be dug over.
There are relatively small buggy/wheelbarrow ones that you walk the grid pattern with.
Maybe we can just get Haley Joel Osment
