Rain, sleet, snow raise road worries in Bastrop
Feb 23rd
Bastrop, Tx–An unusual late winter storm dropped a mix of rain, frozen rain and snow across Bastrop County beginning early today, putting school, city and emergency management officials on alert for worsening conditions through the afternoon.
Bastrop school officials said all events scheduled for Tuesday evening have been called off. They will monitor conditions overnight and decide early Wednesday whether or not to cancel classes for the day, said BISD communications director Donald Williams.
By mid afternoon Tuesday some roads in northern Bastrop County, including U.S. 290, had begun icing over in places, forcing some lane closures, said Peter Hicks in the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management. The chief worry, however, is what happens overnight as temperatures fall, possibly into the upper 20s, said Hicks.
Some forecasts hint that overnight lows could reach 28 degrees F, cold enough to freeze moisture on bridges and roadways after a rainy day, said Hicks. Anyone considering a drive late Tuesday or early Wednesday should take notice of overnight temperatures and the possibility of icy roads, he added.

New light on death of Paige cook, missing body
Feb 23rd
Bastrop, Tx–Court documents obtained by Bastrop-News.com shed new light on the alleged fatal beating of a Paige cook last year at the hands of two friends and what happened to the dead man’s body, which criminal investigators now say may never be recovered.
Michael Vandyke, 23, had been employed as a cook at a Paige restaurant before his disappearance about Dec. 15 last year. On Dec. 30 relatives reported him missing to Bastrop County law enforcement. His body has never been found, but a roommate and another friend are both being held in the Bastrop County Jail on murder charges.
Dustin Dickman, 24, and Dennis Leetch, 25, are behind bars under $500,000 bail each. Dickman and his girlfriend shared a residence with Vandyke near Paige. According to a court document, Dickman told investigators that he and Leetch assaulted Vandyke early on Dec. 16 “to teach him a lesson on how to treat family and friends.”
The documents do not suggest what might have prompted this instructional session.
Investigators believe Vandyke died after Leetch knocked him to the ground with a beer bottle and was kicked both by Dickman and Leetch before being struck repeatedly in the head with a block of wood by each man. Dickman was arrested Jan. 25 after being interrogated by investigators. Leetch was arrested Jan. 29 in San Marcos and talked with investigators as well, according to court records.
According to court documents Leetch also told investigators that Vandyke was initially buried in a shallow grave near the Paige residence Vandyke shared with Dickman and his girlfriend, was exhumed early in January and taken to a rural site near San Marcos in Hays County. The body was placed in an metal tool box designed for the bed of a pickup truck, doused with gasoline and burned for “approximately 1 1/2 days” or roughly 36 hours, one document says.
Afterward the “ashes” went into “an old BBQ pit” and were discarded in a trash dumpster at a San Marcos apartment complex, the documents suggest.
Investigators told a judge they found a site near San Marcos where they believe Vandyke’s body had been burned . They later recovered from a separate rural location the tool box which may have been used to incenerate the corpse.
Sheriff’s Department investigator Mike Daniel said Vandyke’s remains are likely long buried in a solid waste landfill but that the tool box and other items recovered during the investigation are being examined for trace evidence by the Texas Department of Public Safety crime laboratory in Austin.
