When the barrel was examined, it contained only lake sediment, no human remains.
That was a hard answer to hear.
There is still the smaller object that appears to be a trash can.
It was not recovered during this operation.
And until it is recovered and examined, we don’t know whether it’s connected to Virginia and or the boys.
Stacy, and Bobby kept working for this family, kept fighting for answers.
Bill, Eric, and the people they brought together made this mission possible.
Pilots, the engineers, the volunteers, and the investigators got a barrel out of a place we can barely reach.
I’m grateful to every one of them.
The result hurts, but the reason we came here is still the same.
Virginia, Richard and Reagan still deserve to be found, and their family still deserves answers.
