I do not think there was a boat involved in any of this.
Having read this from snapdragon on top of everything else: [ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6319298&postcount=605"]Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - NY-LI-4 bodies on Beach-Possible SK-12/10-All id'd,4 more found 3/11 #3[/ame] I don't disagree with you.
If there is a boat involved, why in the world would the perp drag the bodies to the side of the road??? Why not hide the bodies in the reeds?? Better yet, why not just dump the bodies directly in the water, in the middle of the Great South Bay??
This was specifically about Shannon Gilbert, who hasn't been found yet, and that's what I said, she could be in the bay.
Then, assuming this boating is done at night (because, in the day time there is no way for any of this to happen without someone seeing, especially in the summer), the body of water nearest where the bodies were found is shallow in spots. It would be VERY difficult to navigate in a motor boat, especially at night, even if you knew the area.
I'll defer to you, I never drove it. I am constantly in awe of captains around here who navigate channels at night because they grew up with them. What about the bay next to JB's house? It's not where the bodies were found, but beach opposite his lot would be where a boat (if any) would lick up and drop off. Is it all 5mph no wake zone there BTW, or can you open up in the channel between FI and Oak Beach?
And, finally, if one did use a boat, where the bodies were found is not quite as close to the water as it appears. It would be a haul from boat to road, that's for sure.
I'm going with motor vehicle...
Me too, I was never suggesting otherwise for her arrival, only for departure and disposal.....but reading between the lines, I'm just looking for an excuse to take a boat out that I don't own to test the route between Fire Island and Oak Beach that I don't think was ever taken by SG - fun day out tho!!!!! Please send boat..... :sigh:
