"It is directly across from where the youngest victim lived in an apartment complex that prompted the helicopter search. There are also indications that the car hit some rocks which lead police to believe it entered at high speeds," said the report. According to the report, investigators believe the car headed north towards Riverton Avenue. "They believe it hit some gravel along the road and entered the water near Sinto Avenue. The current then took the car downstream where it sat underwater for almost a month." |
