Two things that need to come from this tragedy.

WORKING Cameras inside and outside Kildares.
Cameras in that parking lot next to Christie's.

I agree. And perhaps better ways of keeping people AWAY from that river. High fences all around?

Even the canal looks dangerous in that lot, it Looks like an accident waiting to happen if a child is walking by. You are right about fences. I dont want there to have to be a second tragedy before they realize precautions need to be taken. One incident is enough.

Was the area where he was found, definitely searched before?

NO it wasn't

 

[AlwaysOnTheCase]

If he went in 5 feet of water and was found in 4 feet of water...but, out 10 feet on both measures.
I assume (horrible word)... Shane couldn't swim- it wasn't over his head.

 

[CementPond]

Sad and hard to believe no one saw him sooner considering he was in only 4 feet on water.

Hey DetPac, I know you said the dogs didn't hit on anything at the parking lot.......were they not walked and used along the entire length of the railroad track, island and/or canal? Just wondering if they would have hit had they be down and around the brewery. Common sense says they should have walked the entire island.

And he was under the water when found- meaning he didn't go in unconcious- water in the lungs

Or he was unconscious?
Never mind, just saw ur post.

I just read the news. My thoughts, prayers & condolences to friends and family.

I bought all 3 of my son's those small pocket sized chargers for Christmas last year as well as charging cases. Woot.com and Amazon usually has decent ones for under $50.

Best money spent, knowing they always have a charged phone.

NO it wasn't

I find that strange, imo. Divers said last week they thought he was probably close to the Manayunk edge of the river but they didnt search this part until today?

Being found in 4 ft I too am surprised he wasnt found sooner. JMO

My heart is broken for Shane and his family. I was thinking of Shane every day and now I am thinking about him nonstop. It is devastating.

I'm keeping Shane and the Montgomery family in my heart and in my prayers. As a mother of a son close to Shane's age, I feel so sad for them.

This group is so compassionate and thoughtful. I feel privileged to be able to read the thoughts and theories from all of you.

Thank you.

I'm also very surprised that they did not search this part until today. Seems odd.

He could have been unconscious and breathing. Only way he wouldn't have water in his lungs is if he entered the water deceased/not breathing

I thought they did search the area?

*snipped*

The discovery occurred in the same portion of the Schuylkill River where divers searched for Shane since he was reported missing five weeks ago.
