I can't say I'm surprised. As I posted earlier, there are many things here I don't know. I've never been to that area so I am not familiar with it. Therefore, I didn't know the water temperature.(a local has since posted that it is cold due to snow melt from nearby mountain range). I don't what the bank of the river is like - steep or shallow grade. I don't know what the river bottom is like - muddy or rocky or deep on that side of the river. I don't know if Alycia could swim. I know of at least one situation at a graduation party on a river where a person who could swim was believed to have stepped in a hole, panicked and drowned - in daylight and in front of others. Slipping into cold water can cause a brief sense of shock and panic. If the river bottom is muddy and/or deep that adds to the panic mode and then on top of that it is dark - all adding to the fear. A person who cannot swim is more likely to panic than someone who can swim. I don't know how close the river was. (Or even why she would be there to start with.) Did she cross over the levee and get too close to the water and slip in? Knowing she had been drinking did she hear a car and run to hide? It's happened before as that is one of theories why LE did not find Maura Murray when they got to her car.
I'm hoping they analyze the water in her lungs, if that is possible. Of course, if she was intentionally drowned at that spot that analysis won't tell us whether it was intentional or accidental.
So many questions and I don't have the answers.
