I didn't type the post at 321. You did.
Those are most definitely your words not my words.
There are variations that are being reported.
Howlin has an opinion based on her local sources.
There have been four reports that I have heard about or have read.
1) DOT worker was investigating scene and came across the car. - The question is why was the DOT worker on the scene
2) A helicopter rented by the family found the car and called it in
3) A helicopter rented by the family found the car at the same time DOT did
4) The uncle and another relative found the car
It is mostly likely what Howlin states but the facts will come out in the next few days.
Those are YOUR words.
