CLINTON, Ill. - The rescuers arrived at Clinton Lake that September evening to find a car submerged in the water and a mother screaming from the shoreline, her boyfriend by her side. Investigators said it took only a minute or two to pull three children from the back seat, but it was too late.

Six-year-old Christopher Hamm and his half brother, 3-year-old Austin Brown, were pronounced dead at a Clinton hospital a few minutes later. Kyleigh Hamm, 23 months, was flown to a Peoria hospital where she died the next day.

Sounds like these two might be related to the swimmer.

Has this case received any national TV coverage?

I don't think it's received much of any. I remember something about it when it first happened. It had to have been on FNC because that's about the only news I watch. It rings a bell because of the callousness of it.

All I know is that when children are drowning, you don't just stand on the shoreline and scream for help. You're in the water trying to save them. Even more so if they're your own kids.

These folks are lucky I'm not on the jury.
