This happened nearby here. The dead woman’s family is are less outraged now that the photo of the Highway Patrol Officer has been published. He looks a lot like them.
Reportedly the photos of the car at the scene were taken by a daughter in law who didn’t see any body either.

It’s in an area populated with lots of Mexicans/illegals. Their standard process is to crash drunk in the middle of the night and just abandon the vehicle. The poor officer probably thought he was just towing off another one of those, never to be claimed. Prayers out to the officer in this case, actually.
Carolyn Ann Watkins' 2000 Pontiac was found in a watery ditch, down
a steep embankment off Swift Creek Road, about 4 miles southwest
of Smithfield on March 29, 2013. The car was towed to an impound lot,
and the woman's body was found inside three days later. Someone passing
by the crash scene took this picture and later gave it to the family.
I feel bad for the Officer but I’m sure it will blow over quickly since the family can’t use racism for the reason he didn’t find her.
Too bad obama didn't jump in early and call the police stupid.
Well, soon the investigation will end. "The buck stops when we get to a white guy in the chain of command."
