That's what I thought at first, but the actual people who picked up the van said that it was BACKED into the water, and that it was the back tires that had been spun when trying to get it out, apparently.

Mealy said that as she left the home, Smiley made another series of driving errors that eventually led her to a hard-to-find dirt path and driving onto the beach. "It gets dark up there. It gets really, really dark," Mealy said. "I was there Sunday afternoon. I had trouble finding that trail in the daylight."
Being that it was down a dead-end road, and then going down a dirt road around a bluff to the water makes no sense," said Simmons, "she would not go down that road, it's a dead-end."
I was thinking more along the lines of them walking back along the road looking for help. That may be precluded by a lack of footprints though. Or she could have stopped at another house asking to use the phone and met the wrong people. They could have been trying to ditch the van somehow, although evidence of trying to back out of the water could go against that theory. I also had the thought that if a perp were trying to ditch the van and make it look like Shantina and child had been stranded there he might take the purse but not realize there was a wallet also.But who would be out there on that road by that water?? not a likely place for a predator to wait ??
unless they were spotted and followed??
I personally think it much more likely that they somehow got disoriented in the water, one f them was drowning the other tried to save them and they were pulled under
how big and deep is that ?? lake??? how oold is the water?? shock, cold hypothermia.....they also had on heavy clothing
I don't know if there are currents or how one would be pulled out there though
I agree, it looks like she may have had some kind of head injury. She did not look right.
It has been relatively nice (i.e. not raining!) over the past few days - today was balmy by Puget Sound standards - but it's still pretty chilly at night. Not freezing but I would not want to be out in the elements.
That "lake" is part of Puget Sound, it is COLD (upper 40s) and you would not want to be in that water. They would not survive very long.
Looking at the Google map, you can see there are many houses nearby - nearly all of the beachfront in Puget Sound is populated - but there is also a large wooded area to the south. She may well be there. It looks large enough for someone to "get lost in."

Not a LAKE people...this is salt water! The puget sound, connected to the pacific ocean. Very cold.
This story is so strange to me. IMO she looks ok in the videos, not in any immediate danger.
IMO either 3 things happened here:
1. She doesn't WANT to be found
2. Foul play, maybe the fiance or a random stranger
3. Medical condition: stroke, seizure, etc. She was apparantly nervous to go see her stepfather...maybe she was so nervous/anxious that she took anxiety meds and she had a bad reaction????
After a little Facebook snooping, i think i read that her mom commited suicide 4 years ago...just sayin'.![]()
somebody somewhere knows something," Mealy said. "She could be missing voluntarily. Something untoward could have happened to her. She could have done something untoward to her son. We have no clue."

This link has her ex-husband speaking about her. Sorry if it was already posted: http://www.king5.com/news/Search-to-continue-for-missing-Silverdale-mother-young-son--87648637.html
Thanks , I had not seen that. All the zig-zagging they show on the map is just so strange.
