There's an image I could do without. I never would have thought of that! Is that even possible? I mean, I know it is possible to stand on her body to sink it, but once his weight is off her, wouldn't it pop back up?
WHERE is she? I just don't understand with the line search why they haven't found her if she isn't in the water??
TravelingBug, any thoughts?
I know I heard on the scanner that they had an FBI team waiting for quads or a low flying helicopter because they found evidence that they couldn't reach, but my husband is upset that I am following this so closely so I had to pull away and make him a nice big dinner (currently cooking) to appease him. :furious: I never heard what happened with that.
I just want them to find her.
Yes, there is marshy area - many, in fact. Typically much of the area by the footbridge is actually marshy, whereas now it's got water because of all of our rain.
The area near the yellow circle on my map is marshy, there are some marshy areas around much of the shoreline, including on the north side. Honestly, you really would almost have to characterize many areas as marshy...but they seemed to be almost solely focused on the marshy area near the yellow and green circles on my map, and one area on the north shore.
ATVs are there and have been used off and on since she went missing Thursday night. The news at 6 showed ATVs down by where the chopper was shining the light in the marshy area.
I question his being muddy with anything to do with hiding her body because I really think that had to have happened immediately (or within an hour or two) of her abduction/assault/murder. As I said, too much happened too quickly, and by midday Friday the entire lake and park area all the way around was swarming with authorities.
In addition, on Sunday, while there was public access to at least most of the north side (where he was arrested at the restaurant) there was WAY too much foottraffic by locals on the north side trying to see what was going on. People were on HIGH alert. ANYTHING even remotely suspicious would be reported and I just can't see him taking that risk. I could be wrong, but that just seems WAY risky to me :waitasec: seeing what I was seeing...and with him having to have been aware of all that was going on b/c of the non-stop news, choppers, cops EVERYWHERE - marked and unmarked, etc.
The area on the north side (now circled in purple on the map) is actually right by Del Dios Community Park, at least in part.

My feeling is - the attack/assault/etc. happened on the south side in the green and yellow circled areas, or thereabouts. That's been the area of intense focus. I believe they are searching there looking for evidence of what happened, and more evidence tying the two of them to that place besides whatever they already found clothing, etc. wise.
I'm guessing they are thinking she was disposed of (or additional evidence - or, honestly, maybe even evidence that makes them look there b/c of Amber?) in the area I now have circled on the map in purple on the north side. Perhaps he went out trying to look like a looky-loo on Sunday and was trying to sneak around, making sure she hadn't been found, got muddy, and then went to eat at the restaurant when he was arrested.
I'd also suspect he was being followed based on the DNA evidence and that's why they are searching both sides of the lake in two very different areas because they know exactly where he was over there.
ETA, I think that they are NOT really looking for her on land, only evidence. I think they believe she's either in the water or somewhere else. I get the feeling that's why it's the water's edge focus and in the water and dive teams, and they're not out combing the shore in other areas, just in the water and immediately around two specific areas.
