“I know we are not getting any help from the detective on this case. He doesn’t feel like it’s fit for us to have cadavers and dogs out here to find my baby’s scent, which I think is bull****,” Natasha Hayes said.
A woman who didn’t want to share her name came to the pond to pay her respects to those lost and express frustration with police.
“If it was my kids or my brother or my nieces and nephew, I would have wanted somebody out here on Thursday or Friday when they reported it,” she said. “When the family’s begging and pleading you to get out on this pond, that’s what they’re here for, is to protect and serve. But they failed.”
