AKRON, Ohio (AP) - A woman apparently upset over money problems walked into a lake with her daughter and son in tow, drowning herself and the 4-year-old girl, police said Monday. Kenetta Lockhart, 32, of Akron, drove her Jeep up to the Summit Lake on Sunday, parked it and either walked off a boat dock or ramp with her daughter and 8-year-old son, police said. The boy was able to swim to shore.
"Preliminary information indicates that she might have been despondent over some personal and financial problems," said Akron Police Capt. Daniel Zampelli.
The boy was listed in fair condition at Children's Hospital.
Divers pulled Lockhart's body from the lake Sunday night. With nearly a dozen family members watching from the beach early Monday, divers recovered 4-year-old Kayla Langdon's body, said Lt. Sylvia Trundle.
"It was really something to see her little body," Trundle said. "The family was very, very loving and concerned."
Trundle said the bodies were found in an area of the 115-acre lake that was 8 to 10 feet deep.
Police hoped to interview the boy as soon as he was able, Trundle said.
"We'll be meeting with family. Everyone is pretty much in shock right now," she said.
Ah yes, of course. Naturally, Clinton/Gore had nothing to do with this nadir in the economic cycle. Silly of me to forget what economic wonders they were. You probably consider Carter to be a model of economic success as well.
Your vision of the world, with only the things you know about as being the reality of the world, is a very limited, inexperienced, and localized view.
You are correct, this has happened in the past. Is is happening more, now, or is it only due to better reporting? Better and instantaneous communications?
Do you have facts and figures for the occurrences over the past 100 years?
Do you believe such a device as I mentioned really exists? Do you believe that MK Ultra, psychic mind-control, etc. are all just stories? TINFOIL hatter stories? None of it is possible?
