This is Charley Projects account on the case:

I just started with the posts on this case. My initial thought was that Shane was disoriented after the accident and drowned in the river. However, some accounts say it was very shallow water. However, a person can drown in shallow water. For instance, people who drown in bathtubs.
It would reason if this was the case that his body would be found. Here are some beginning scenarios that I have:
Shane was more hurt than he thought, became disoriented and lost. He could still be alive as a victim of amnesia.
What rivers or lakes exist in the accident's vicinity? Shane being disoriented could have fallen into one of them and drowned with his body swept away.
Did Shane met with foul play. Is it known where he was going that day or night after meeting his brother at the Daiquiri Shop? How much did Shane drink at the Daiquiri Shop? Drug problems?
What about Shane's relationships with family and friends?
