What a bunch of BS...A 'sonar' [which is basically a side scanning directable bottom pinger]...could no more tell a body from a log, a sturgeon...our a mound of mud.

I would think it depends upon the sonar. High-frequency equipment with image processing capapbility would probably be able to do it.

Have you all seen those new sonar imagine that clearing shows the picture of your childs face in utero. STUNNING.

Modesto Police Chief Roy Wasden confirmed investigators believe they found the body as early as mid-March, but could not retrieve it. "The waves came up and we couldn't go down. I can't tell you the frustration we felt," Wasden said.

If true, I can't believe the chief would admit this incompetance. The waves have not been "up" for the month between mid-March and when the bodies washed up.

Not if what they have is the same as the stuff they use to look for Nessy. They can't tell a sea monster from a school of fish.
