Snipped.Searching for a car with a grappling hook and a pike pole could easily have missed the car as it could have floated or the current could have carried it downstream from where they searched. I think they should search again using state of the art underwater sonar.
I agree wholeheartedly. Even today, cars are often missed in searches. Even small ponds can hide cars. A while back I read about a car with two bodies in it that was found in a retention pond on a farm; it had been in there for years. I would bet anything that the trio's car went into the water somewhere.
If they took an unpredictable route, there's no telling what body of water the car might have gone into. The Rouge River would be the best bet, of course. There might not be much left of the car after all this time, but some larger pieces should remain in the muck of the riverbed. I'm sure many cars have been pulled out of the water in the last 83 years, too. I doubt whether good records have been maintained.
