"Her husband, Scott, 30, said he last saw her at 9:30 a.m. when he departed their La Loma neighborhood home en route to San Francisco Bay to go fishing." I wouldn't think that someone would go fishing on Christmas Eve. Now, I'm not a fisher*woman* and maybe some die, hard fisherman do do this, but I find it suspicious. MHO
First off, 9:30 in the morning is not when you leave to go fishing. 0930 is when you give up and go home. Lets say he did leave when he said he did, with driving time to Berkeley he would be lucky to hit the water by noon.. I took a look at the tides for Berkeley for that day:
H 0430
L 0853
H 1420
That would place him on the water during a flood tide. Not the time I would go fishing especially because of the drive time and the other fishing opportunities he had between his house and the bay. The only thing he could possibly be fishing for is sturgeon or stripers, but they would he heading up the rivers due to the recent heavy rainfall.
I canceled a company mandated training course for myself because it was 2 hours from home when my sister (she was living with me at the time) was 8 months along. I really cant imagine leaving her alone on Christmas Eve?
(now a shameless plug for my nephew see)
