Did you read the last paragraph of that news release!!!
They couldn't find the collision...how hard did they look?
Time to ping Jaque so she can tell us how stupid this couple is and how this is all their fault.
That's really shocking, isn't it?
Do you suppose somebody hit them and slammed them into the swamp.
Dear lord, how horrible.
I just heard that on the CW11 news! Wow, unbelievable! The family members are justifiably devastated. How much worse, knowing this?
It wouldn't have made any difference to the missing couple after 10 minutes.
About 10 years ago, I was stopped at a red light waiting to make a left turn when an older Chevy Suburban came busting through the intersection from my right just as my left turn arrow came on. I hesitated before continuing through as I saw a bunch of sparks and realized that his tires were blown out but he was in quite a hurry.
He disappeared out of sight around a bend ahead of me just as I saw flashing lights appear in my rear view mirror. I pulled over to let 4 or 5 police cars blow by me and continued on my way. In a few seconds, a couple more highway patrol cars and a few seconds after that, 2 or 3 more, all with lights and sirens wailing. About 3/4 to a mile later I saw a couple of patrol cars with lights and sirens coming from the opposite direction but they were not in as much of a hurry. As I approached a neighborhood, I looked ahead to see a bunch of fresh gouges in the road turning into the neighborhood. Littered about the turn were fresh pieces of tire rubber. The patrol cars coming from the opposite direction were disappearing over the hill in my mirror. It became obviously that they lost their scent.
So naturally, the curious guy that I am, I turned into the neighborhood as patrol cars were coming and going past on the main road. About 5 or 6 houses into the neighborhood, I saw more fresh gouges turning into a driveway and sure enough, the Suburban parked tight up behind a house. So I kept moving, proceeding past the house, and found a place to turn around and head back out to the main road where I figured the police will be coming by. Two patrol cars passed right by me as I tried to get their attention, the third one stopped. I told him that if he was looking for a tan Chevy Suburban with no tires, it's right down this street parked behind a house on the right. He said "Thanks!" and got on his radio as he sped off. Within seconds, about 20 police cars converged on the house where they dragged some slug out and charged him with robbing a local bank.
Now, I am generally a pro-LEO kind of guy, however, on that day, I got the distinct impression that they were more interested in just driving fast and making lots of noise instead of using common sense and observation. But then again, it would be a little more difficult to notice gouges and blown tire rubber at 80 or 90 mph...
