<-- New poster.
I grew up in the Pinecastle/Belle Isle area, still live here. My taller half actually (per info on here) went to high school with DSII (although he doesn't remember him and certainly doesn't know him now).
I live a few blocks away from where the phone was found and often drive that bridge on the way to/from the grocery store. I can imagine how easy it would be to throw something out of the window into the water; it's a very narrow bridge and a walkway only on one side (South). I was looking at a map of the area, because it got me thinking of the route that someone (DS) would take from his house to his parents' house or the old country bar on Oak Ridge Rd.
I know this area pretty well and there are dirt roads (more like trails) that you can take back to this lake.
I think this area should be searched, (EDIT: Lake Warren) since it seems to be on the route from DS condo through Belle Isle (and over the Nela bridge). It's the route that only a local would take, IMO. It's slow, there's a lot of stop signs between the bridge and Conway Rd as well as speed bumps. Also, a Hummer would not be out of place in this neighborhood, even in the day. It's a mix of more affluent families and middle class, depending on the section and the individual house.
I have not been back there in forever (we used to ride four wheelers near the lake back in the day). But this seems a more likely spot to hide a body than the Sky Lake canal. Granted, that canal is dirty (lots of Muscovee ducks and trash; I can't remember a time when it wasn't the running joke of the area about how dirty the canal was/is) but with houses surrounding it throughout (really, except for the back of Oak Ridge High School, the back of the Auditorium and a few buildings and the ballfield on the other side). Too populated for someone to go unnoticed, IMO.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I have been following this story since it broke and I am still praying for a positive outcome.
Sorry if this is disjointed. My train skips tracks pretty often. And hello, all.
