Sincere condolences to his family.
I am watching the live now. They suspect he went into the canal behind his home within a few hours of last being seen by his father and his body floated down the canal until it ended up at the pump station. His remains were actually found last Tuesday (a week ago today) and upon forensic identification the announcement was made today. I hope this link works...How did he end up almost 13 miles away??!
I know. I am crushed... I am trying to focus on the fact that now his family has some closure, but I really wish it had ended differently... we all do.No no no no no!!! I am so devastated!!! Why?!?!!? That poor family. Prayers for his loved ones. I'm going to go cry now.
It doesn't make a lot of sense.This may not be over, folks. Statement today, December 22, 2021 - Jubi's 21st birthday. From Jubi's father:

10 CAP Facts: The Canal that Made Modern Arizona
- Accidental drowning accounts for 71% of lethal outcomes, followed by traffic injuries at 18%
- Remember: Search Water First!
"Water leaving Lake Havasu takes 3-4 days to make it to the end of the line. This means the canal is pushing relentlessly along at 3-5 miles per hour. It does not stop, and as mentioned above, it’s deep. Do NOT let the kids get near it and don’t ever enter the water yourself. It’s not meant for recreation. It’s dangerous. It’s against the law. You will be very sorry. The end of the line is 12 miles southwest of Tucson"
In my opinion, after Jubi drowned, his body would have very quickly gone 11-13 miles, his body may not have even resurfaced before reaching Mesa. Approx 11 weeks in Arizona, can't imagine anyone questioning the advanced decomposition.
I think his parents are questioning why how his body got beyond the lock in Scottsdale, 3 miles from their home in order to travel the remaining 8 miles to Mesa.
I'm only seeing that they say they were told he'd be at the "grate" in 3-5 days, not anything about disputing how his body got beyond the lock. I would think that if the lock was an issue, the canal authorities certainly would know if it was possible for his body to get beyond the lock.I think his parents are questioning why how his body got beyond the lock in Scottsdale, 3 miles from their home in order to travel the remaining 8 miles to Mesa.
It's not that kind of lock, no boating, swimming, recreation allowed on/in the canal.Is being caught up under a boat a possibility?
