Yeah, "stowed" was not an expected word to describe the paddle of a person miles away from their entry point.I am not a paddle boarder. If she fell off while paddling on the reservoir, would her paddle be “stored”?
Hmmm……Yeah, "stowed" was not an expected word to describe the paddle of a person miles away from their entry point.
I think that is a possibility for sure. They haven't found much in the weeks of searching they've done.ER set off on her paddle board at 8:30 pm. Sunset that evening was about 9:32 so she had about an hour of daylight left for her excursion.
Maps show a parking area where Flossy Creek empties into the reservoir near where the paddle board was found. I wonder how busy it would be around 9:00 pm. Any chance she stepped off there for a little break, stored her paddle, pulled up her board by the water’s edge, and someone came along with no good intentions?
