MINOT, N.D. — Minot police say they have found no sign of a crime in the death of a Minot Air Force Base missile crew commander, but area waiting more test results.

The body of Capt. Jonathan Bayless was found late Friday in a field north of Minot. Police Lt. Dan Strandberg says authorities were called after a resident spotted something in the field near his home.

Police Capt. Al Hanson said an autopsy was performed Monday in Bismarck. He said authorities found nothing unusual but they are still awaiting a toxicology test, which could take up to two weeks.

Bayless is reported to have lived in the area near where his body was found.

He had been stationed at the Minot base since March 2005, and was a training chief with the 91st Operations Support Squadron.

"It is also worth noting that on August 27, 2007, just days before the "lost" nukes incident, three B-52 Bombers were performing special missions under the direct authorization of General Moseley, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force. <3> The exercise was reported as being an aerial information and image gathering mission. The base at Minot is also home of the 91st Space Wings, a unit under the command of Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).

According to official reports, the U.S. Air Force pilots did not know that they were carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). Once in Louisiana, they also left the nuclear weapons unsecured on the runway for several hours. <4>

U.S. Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Plans, and Requirements, Major-General Richard Y. Newton III commented on the incident, saying there was an “unprecedented” series of procedural errors, which revealed “an erosion of adherence to weapons-handling standards” <5>

These statements are misleading. The lax security was not the result of procedural negligence within the U.S. Air Force, but rather the consequence of a deliberate tampering of these procedures."
