Mother to Many
I didn't say anything about whether Cindy tried to stop the dive and I don't know whether she did or not. If I were her, I'd have tried to stop it. I would have trusted that TES had found nothing and would have been steaming over someone trying to use my missing/dead grandchild to gain fame and fortune. The memorial would have really sent me over the top.
Notice all the things that Tim mentioned he could tell you with the sonar: if there is a TIRE, if there is a BENCH, if there is a BUCKET, if there is a WHEELBARROW, etc., (these are all solid and fairly large objects-larger then the bones of a small child would be-MUCH larger).Then he goes on to say there is no body in there. And you know what? That is absolutely correct. There would not BE a body now, at this point, would there? There would be skeletal remains that are likely scattered across the bottom and BENEATH the silt layer, where Side Sonar CANNOT see. Not to mention these would be tiny little bones, so why not let some brave sould scrape around on the bottom just to solidify that she is not there? She MAY be there and the sonar missed her, and Tim as much as admitted that and said he would apologize to Mr. Padilla if she were discovered to, in fact, BE there. Exact words are a tricky thing...there is no body...we know that...it has been too long...there is no body...but there MAY be bones that were once inside of a body that are so small as to have been missed by the sonar equip...
