The opinion

ZINTER, Justice

(concurring).

[¶ 54.] I concur, except that with respect to Issue 2, the questioning went beyond general on-the-scene questioning. Nevertheless, the trial court’s findings of *71 historical fact regarding Bowker’s custodial status were not clearly erroneous, and the trial court did not err in concluding that suppression was not required.
