Would you know if the hatch to the 'wet well' is under lock and key? I was surprised to see that the well itself is located outside the little building.
Regardless, it would be an act of God trying to stuff a body under the fence even if you find a depression in the dirt if to work with. It had to be getting close to daylight and the not knowing when or if an employee was going to drop by had to have been a real stressor.
Seems like it had to have been an accident if this is Caleb we are talking about - that or a mental health crisis?
