Well I was confident that if her vehicle was submerged, AWP would find it. In any case in which they've searched a location already searched by LE, they've explained that they've got better equipment and the experience and skill to use it.
I'm very surprised, though, that they didn't start with Prosser Lake and I'm anxious to hear what info influenced their decision to search other locations first. I mean, when I read descriptions of the LE's search of Prosser Lake- even from where I sit- I knew it was insufficient, that it simply couldn't have been adequate.
Sounds like both will be on today, LE and AWP.
I've seen AWP clear smaller bodies of water first before was one thought I had. Another is that I think LE said they'd cleared Prosser or parts of it and maybe they hadn't with the smaller bodies of water so they had them start there first. Or Prosser being a bigger undertaking they left it for last and/or needed to be sure they had retrieval equipment and personnel necessary available, etc. if having to remove from the depths of Prosser.
As the night wore on last night, more questions came to mind for me. Hopefully they will eventually be satisfied for both the family's sake and for the public and closure of the case. Maybe some will even be answered today if they have or know anything they can share yet.
It isn't even a definite yet which exact area this party was in on a map, there are two areas near the campground that are considered to be the likely spot where it was. Interesting to hear there were parties or multiple parties near all these bodies of water too that night.
The mass exodus at 12:30 still bothers me. Did no one see her and/or why would she have not been with the other cars leaving going the same direction(s), etc.? Now that might not be verified but it was said another camper in the area noted cars coming and going but never really noted much that might have been related to the party other than that. If there was such an exodus, why? That is early by party standards. And if Sami thought Kiely would camp out/stay over there, why was everyone leaving, wasn't anyone staying over?
At best, let's just say this was an honest to God accident, did one or more know of it and all freaked and got out of there before questions could be asked or someone realize what happened?
It doesn't go along with her knowing her routes and the familiarity with the area although I guess her condition may explain that possibly. So little is verified.
Was she one known to go fast on poor roads because I can't help but wonder why she didn't realize she was not on a road any longer before she hit the water. .
Some think maybe she parked there but there too one would think then other partygoers would have done that as well and have seen it happen or at least her leaving.
Just a few of many questions that remain. There is still even just the simple fact that a 16 year old had access to drugs and alcohol at this party and was anything forced, laced, etc.
. Is the buddy system not a thing anymore?
