Is there any link to their statement that the windows were rolled up? I did see them say the car was upside down in 14 feet of water. It came out right side up so must have been turned around in the recovery process.I thought AWP said the windows were all up when they initially found the vehicle? It would make sense that the windows busted out when the vehicle was flipped over for extraction, along with the busted mirror. The back window being down 2/3d's? - Kiely may have been driving with it down already which would explain why it sunk so fast, leaving less time for someone to see something.
LE heavily searched Prosser with a grid map and even tried to convince AWP that there was no need to search Prosser. The thing that made the difference was that AWP could differentiate the appearance of a rock vs a vehicle. The skillset that they have really made the difference here and maybe they can help law enforcement, somehow, with future training.
The more I think about why no one saw anything, the more I think about my drinking days, which are behind me (thank goodness.) I made a lot of stupid decisions and even question how I'm still here.
But if I was at a huge outdoor party (I've attended some) and saw a vehicle drive off in another direction, I wouldn't question it. Maybe a bunch of people wanted to hang out somewhere else? A different route home? It wouldn't have been a blip on my screen. Especially if I wasn't from the area, was drunk myself and didn't know the roads well. Plus, it was pitch black outside. That many people leaving at once is usually chaos and loud to begin with.
IMO, this was nothing but an unfortunate situation of impaired driving and an accident, nothing more. Occam's razor from the beginning. Kiely had her whole life before her. She had plans and was about to attend school. The suicide theory just doesn't make sense to me. The OD theory? Plausible, but it's highly unlikely a bunch of teenagers staged this. Inexperienced driver, confusion, impaired, etc. It just all added up to a very unfortunate situation.
NY Post- Diver's find body
IMO
It's still strange that it looks like front window is broken while rear windows are rolled down. But at this point I'm just waiting to hear what their post recovery investigation reveals.
I have done night diving once as a scuba diver and that gives a sense of how difficult it is to even know which way is the surface under water in the dark. If water rushed in to open windows in the dark with no moon, it's pretty easy to see how she couldn't get out. I found many comments on this thread helpful in visualizing it.
It looks like possibly a wrong turn down the beach instead of back up the dirt road to home. It's still puzzling to me that someone who knew the area would keep driving down the beach.
Was her phone recovered? some of the new iphones are supposed to have high degree of water proofing. I wonder if there will be any way for them to pinpoint the exact time she went in.
Because it looks like she would have driven the dirt road a bit before making a wrong turn, I suppose the only way someone would see is if there were people down by the beach where she went in
