Years ago a man was missing and presumed to be a drowning victim.I was diving the lake at the time and when searchers gave up I moved into the area on the chance I might happen into the body.I was working on bottom anyway and it would have helped give closure to his family.
Turned out he had been murdered by his wife and was in the backyard all along.
Several years later,working on a river I met a man that had lost his father the year before in the water.I found out enough from him to keep an eye out in the right area.
A couple years later some people found one bone washed up down river and had the sense to realize it was human.
When the bone was seen to be modern,everything fell in place for the insurance company to pay off.
