Right, thanks for this - and what bothers me is, where is the proof that Shantina and Azriel were sleeping in the van, and simply surprised and swept away by high tide? Do we really know this?
My understanding of the investigators' reasoning for that theory:
The dogs were unable to pick up any scent trail of either of them away from the van, so they surmise that the two went from the car into the water.
At the probable time that the van drove up to the beach and got stuck, it was low tide. If they had walked off then, I guess they should have been able to due to the low tide.
If they had waited (because they slept in the car), and awoke to the higher tide, they'd have to walk into water in order to try to escape the van.
So, probably no proof. Just a best guess, is my thought.
