I was really hoping they'd be home by now. Fearing an accident and they're in water or down an embankment. Jmo

I came across this and hope it is unrelated to the disappearance of these two women early Saturday morning, but it is an unusual enough incident that it's worth mentioning.
This guy says he was traveling eastbound on Audubon Parkway at 3am early Sunday when an unknown vehicle started messing with him and then shooting at him. This is in the same general part of Daviess County that the women were last seen in at Sonic.

@Fiddlehead thanks for posting. This is really worrying. From the gas station where he stopped after being shot to the Sonic (I assume I got the right one) is only a 6 minute drive.

I was thinking car accident but now am worried about car jacking.

what is a boat ramp accident?

 

[PommyMommy]

So awful. Rest in peace, ladies.

what is a boat ramp accident?

Boat ramps look remarkably like narrow roads. My cousin Lenny was lost at night (got turned around after getting gas coming home.from.another state) took.a turn down what he thought was a country road only it was a boat ramp. He would be a missing person yet today had a woman letting her dog out not heard his car hit the water. The car went far.out into the reservoir before it sank, drowning him.

So sad. Wow. And why are these boat ramps not gated or something? Not a lock, just a barrier to slow down people who might have made a wrong turn.

This is awful. May Regina and Bonnie rest in peace.

Dang it, dang it, dang it.
How awful.

JUL 26

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Could a road in Webster County be to blame for the deaths of two missing women from McLean County? The bodies of Bonnie Mayes and her daughter Regina Payne were pulled from the Green River on July 25, along with their vehicle, near the Webster- McLean county line. The road authorities say the women were driving on, Wrightsburg Road, ends right in the Green River.

Barricades have since been placed along Wrightsburg Road, just a few hundred yards down from where it is believed the two women drove into the river.

“This is the first time I’ve actually worked anything like this since I’ve been here at Webster County,” says Webster County Emergency Management Director Jeremy Moore.

More at Questions remain after missing women pulled from Green River

so upsetting
RIP dear ladies

Regina posted pictures of mom enjoying her burger almost an hour and a 1/2 after the stop at Sonic.

<snipped to focus on this>

Oh yes I also saw that picture and thought hopefully it will be comforting to the family because it shows that the ladies were having such a great time that night. Regina's FB is totally filled with love of family and that love just radiates from her posts. I can imagine their loss will leave a huge hole in the hearts of all who loved them. Praying that they will find comfort in the days ahead.

Are they assuming an accident and not on purpose?
