That's nothing.

I was running at the university track one day when I was in school (back in late '80s or early '90s or thereabouts).  About a mile a way I noticed a Crashawk helo show up and orbit some spot about a mile up the road.  About the same time, a convoy of marked and unmarked vehicles passed by on the road adjacent to the track and sports complex-maybe twenty in all-headed towards the direction of the helo.

Turns out, someone reported a body disposed of in a well on the property of a farm where a meth lab was suspected.  They found the meth lab, but no body in the water well.  Family farm was "repurposed" once the old folks passed on and their yutes weren't interested in farming anymore....

Local, State, and federal LEO-to include a mulit-jurisdictional task force from city and county LE agencies in a couple of counties in the area.  It was quite a theatrical presentation for a town that boasts a population of only 12,000 or so people.

About 20 miles south in a town called Elida, low-flying aircraft were known to drop bags of product from 500 and below at night.  "No Country For Old Men" wasn't far off in either plot or principle.  Small towns in rural NM are rife with that kind of thing.

Border states.
