Thanks for taking and posting all the great pictures. It makes the area seem so real and so desolate just looking at them. Did you by any chance get to enter the subdivision and see the Dermond's property or view the property by boat?
There is so much water that it is a wonder MrsD was even found. If it was in a reedy grass area like the picture shows, would it be more shallow than further into the lake? If MrD's head was also sunk somewhere in the lake, it would have seemed very small in the grand expanse of the lake if it did happen to rise back to the surface. I have read that bodies can sink, then bloat up to the surface and then sink again. I don't know a time frame though for how long a body stays on the surface? Would a head come up and float or would it just stay down?
Found in the nik of time, if she'd stayed afloat too long, she would have eventually gone back under but I understand that it was a good fishing spot with tree trunks under the water in that area, from my experience, but my family had a place on the Sinclair side, looking at the dam from pics, over the bridge, is Sinclair, this is Oconnee side, but the ground tapers up to the shore, more shallow the closer to shore you get, this water is bigger than sinclair, may be deeper IDK.
I dont' think heads float, no gases like a body and mostly skull and no body fat, they'd need divers for a while searching for that, the good news I heard recently is that the water levels will be dropped significantly in 2015 on Sinclair, assuming they do the same on Oconnee, the water will recede off shore just past or at the dock end, so you can see everything on the ground where water is usually at. This is done for seawall and dock repairs and cleanup on the underwater shore line
No I did not have my boat this time, and I dont know if I could bear going by the D's home on the water or on land, considered it on land, not sure if it's easily accesible to the subdivision or what the rules of entrance are, apparently NONE for the murderers!
And your welcome, it was very realistic and eery going here being so close to where she was discovered, very easy for somenoe to enter and exit without notice
Also the long road out of there, gosh i forgot the name of it, will check, but it goes for miles with NOTHING, no one saw those folks, they took the boat out at night and left, PERIOD
Or like I said and others are curious about, unless they lived on the Oconnee lake
OH, I have a pic of the courthouse in Hancock too, reconstruction begins in 2015, will post in a bit
