Heroes.
lots of pics at the link - really adds context
Very useful work. :)
This is the 2nd story I’ve seen in the last month or so about independent scuba divers, using radar and small boats, dedicated to finding missing cars/people, with several solved cases.
I don’t know if there just are not the resources for police or investigators to look in these obvious bodies of water, but it’s so sad to think about these families waiting for answers or closure in futility.
They are doing good work, but it’s SO sad seeing the dead just quietly rotting away, not having reached their intended destination. I’m sure their relatives are still glad to have the closure, however.
Heroes.
I’ve been watching AWP for a while now.
Jared is a bit of a toolbag, but they do solve cases.
I know he and Sam split ways for some reason.
What shocked me the most is just how many cars they find. Any place that a car can go over into a body of water, there is one. Not sure how much of it is crime related or misadventure due to stupidity or alcohol, but there are A LOT of cars underwater.
Very sad.
But does give closure to the family members and loved ones of the deceased.
Imagine the agony of having a loved one disappear for decades.
Speaking of bodies found in water, this one doesn’t really sound natural to me:
Gunshot wound to the head, wearing a backpack filled with rocks, ankle weights, and a boat anchor tied to his waste.
Now, what makes it unnatural, cosidering all that, was that he was found floating.
Cool story. Thanks!
Living in Southern California has its downside, but you aren’t likely to get stuck in a snowstorm for 24 hours, and you’re not likely to go off the road into some random body of water. There was however a similar story back in 1998 when a screenwriter disappeared mysteriously; a detective figured out that the only place he could be was in the California aqueduct - and he was. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-jul-09-mn-2218-story.html
True, doing good work yet it is heart wrenching, too.
YouTube also has a number of clipped news stories of local finds of lost vehicles/drivers, basically always found in shallow waters (streams, rivers, ponds, lakes), and sometimes missing for decades, and occasionally side by side with other lost vehicles/drivers/passengers from different times.
Surprised that no one with a barge, a crane and sonar hasn’t started up a business with the states to pull up cars from the bottom of lakes and rivers. Most I’m sure will be found less than 100 yards from the shore. Get an environmental fee for pulling the cars out of the river, as well as get an additional fee if body remains are found inside the car.
Good people indeed.
Watched a couple fo their vids. MEh
They don’t seam real popular with the local Vopos.
