Wow what a premise, I always wonder how someone can even still be in the water like the whole time after 6-12 months without getting fully eaten or disintegrated or maybe they get thrown into the water way after death as a way to get rid of evidence? Idk so strange JMO

Right location, time frame, color trousers. Wrong height. Michael Clifford Bundy.

Intriguing, I guess the height could be wrong. But did MCB have a metal plate in his tibia? If he didn't, we can easily know its not him.

Could have been tied/chained to something heavy and was submerged at the bottom of the water. Could have been held down by his arms and he resurfaced when his arms detached.

The article says there was no indication he met with foul play, so I think that makes that somewhat unlikely. There's nothing entirely unusual about a body being in water for a long time, becoming degraded and then resurfacing.

Yes, you would hope that that would be mentioned, but I can think of instances when it hasn't.
