Multiple tips were reported, as well as considerable video, and trail camera footage.

While none of the tips were able to positively identify the driver or the rider, many of them provided insight which allowed game wardens to follow up and investigate further, including eventually identifying the make and model of the ATV.

The information and investigative work culminated in a search warrant for LaFrance's property and a warrant for his arrest.
