Interesting. It seems quarries are popular body disposal sites in some areas.

Below is from an article that mentions the bodies of two male college students found in a quarry in Wisconsin, and possibly linked to the "River Deaths" in Wisconsin university towns because the circumstances were so similar.

What?s behind deaths of two in Whitewater quarry?

"The bodies of two UW-Whitewater students have been found below a quarry’s north rim in the past 14 months. Mark J. Wegener, 20, was found dead May 30, 2011. Edgerton High School graduate Benjamin R. Fuder, 21, was found Sunday, July 29.

The quarry is just outside the city limits and about a mile from where both students were last seen while reportedly out partying in early-morning hours.

Some UW-Whitewater students are terrified. They think a killer is loose and fear being the next victim.

Likewise, some people believe serial killers are behind the river drownings of so many young adults in La Crosse in recent years."
