FYI for anyone who watches the dive sonar channels on YouTube - Adventures with Purpose posted a video,
, (which unfortunately is for channel members only but hopefully they will post it on the channel for everyone sometime soon) showing searches they did for Sandra this past summer. Obviously they didn't find anything or we would have heard about it. I was a little surprised that they didn't realize how shallow most of the lakes are out there, especially by the boat ramps, until they got there which didn't leave a whole lot of places for them to search. BUT, they did go to Wes and Sandra's home and talked to Wes, as well as talking to one of their daughters.
Wes seemed to give pretty much the same story of them fighting over his mother's will, Sandra threatening to leave, saying at some point he took her keys but she managed to take off in his car and that she had money with her. He says that he wants her back for their kids but not so much for him. That he so openly says he doesn't really care about her coming back almost makes me think that maybe, just maybe he didn't have anything to do with her disappearance. Maybe he knows no-one would buy a I'm such a loving spouse act, but to outright state you don't care if she ever comes back is ballsy when you know you're the chief suspect.
When Jared from Adventures with Purpose asks him if there were any special places Sandra liked to go by herself or with grandkids that are by water, Wes says that she was seen by a quarry. So, he doesn't really answer the question but instead focuses on where the car was seen that night. I think he's talking about the two quarries that are on Crowbar. AWP didn't search any of the quarries and didn't seem to realize they were even there, focusing more on lakes. Wes mentioning a quarry though makes me think there's probably no need to search them.
Their daughter had some interesting things to say, including that she has used drones to search area lakes and that they are so shallow there would be no way to hide a car. I think she was more looking for a body. She goes on to say that she would like to have someone search the Root River because her older step-brother (Wes' son, not Sandra's) has property by it and using location tracking on SnapChat, she knows that a few days after Sandra's disappearance that he spent the whole day by the river. She says that she's working on getting access but that it's on private property. She says that she no longer talks to her father and that he owns a junkyard so he definitely knows how to get rid of a car. She also says that she'd like to search his property since it's quite large with some boggy/swampy areas. One hopes that if there was anything to find at the property that the police found it when they executed the search warrant there.
