For weeks the family of Dr. Zehra Attari has been trying to retrace the route the missing San Jose pediatrician may taken the night she disappeared.
Did 55-year-old mother of two make a wrong turn on Doolittle Road, which skirts an inlet as it runs past the Oakland International Airport? Or was did an exit off of 880 lead her astray?
Where was she? They asked themselves. Was she alive?
These painful questions were finally answered Tuesday night when Attari's gray Honda Accord was pulled out of the Oakland Estuary near the Grand Marina boatyard in Alameda at the foot of Grand Street. A body was found inside and this morning family members said it was Attari.

This is so sad. Her daughter had just gotten married and what should have been a happy time for this family turned into several weeks of heart break and worry.

I hope this discovery can bring them some peace.

Since she's not the first to drive into the waters, why isn't there a barrier?

Damm. Just damm.

I was wondering the same thing! How awful... I can't believe they don't have warning signs and/or barriers...

Gooder grammar?

[lesser_satan]

You mean more betterer.
