Great idea.
We haven’t done that yet but it sure makes sense!
I have been gearing up for the boat search weekend, getting magnets, underwater camera and boats lined up to search Ceasars Creek Lake, Stonelick and a couple of boat ramps on the Ohio River.
The family searchers are going back over areas previously searched in a 45 mile radius around Otterbein.
A psychic has said to look again around 42 at 127 in KY and that will be done this weekend. Another said look for rural white churches and look within 300 yards of them. I’m not a big believer is psychics but we’ll take all the help we can get.
My sister has contacted scuba clubs, as well as bicycle clubs and motorcycle clubs who are having rides in the general area. If on land, I bet they’ll be found by smell, not sight at this point so those groups could be invaluable now.
We walked 741 south of Dayton Mall to Otterbein a week ago with nothing found. We need a ground search of an area south of Manning Rd, west of Great Miami River, east of 122. That includes Germantown Metro Park. Any familiarity with that park? Is the lake big enough and deep enough to hide a sunken car?
Just got done with a TV interview on Channel 5 from Cincinnati. Watch tonight at 5:00 to see what we’re up to.
Thanks for your help!
I have been to Germantown Metro Park once several years ago. I am not familar with the lake. Anyone going to Germantown Metro Park should go in a group with someone familar with wooded areas, a map of the park, a good compass and bottled water. My friend (a city girl) and I got lost near the visitor’s center. We got there twenty minutes before the center opened. Decided to take a short walk on a marked trail that looped back to the center. The twenty minute walk turned into a two hour walk. Fortunately, I have some experience in the woods and found the vistor’s center again. My friend would not have made it out by herself. After we returned to our car, a man was lead out of the woods by two people with fishing gear. From the conversion I heard, he had gotten lost and they had to bring him out.
I will try to contact some of the real estate companies myself.
My feeling, ever since I found out they left in the afernoon, is that the shopping trip had been cancelled and they had gone to some place locally. If they did not leave until 4:00, they may have just gone out to eat.
