<<According to WPIX News, Adventures With Purpose and Chaos Divers were in the area helping with two unrelated cold cases – 70-year-old Janet Walsh from 2020 and 78-year-old Bunnie Lee from 2013 – when they made a shocking discovery.

As they dived into the Allegheny River in hopes of locating these two missing persons, they stumbled upon another body within a submerged red Sedan. With assistance from the Pittsburgh police river rescue team and fire crews, the sonar teams hauled the car from the river. The body was later identified as 54-year-old Tod Diminno, according to a report from WTAE News.>>
