Judi Meyer was kind enough to dig this up for me, it's an old drowning I worked in 1976 in Half moon lake. Then the only technology for searching for a drowning victim in cold deep water was a case of beer and some boats with hooks that they drug through the water. Now days they have a technology called side band sonar which will scan the bottom of a lake and show you a picture of what's there. Even after 35 years this fellow would still look about like the day he went in the water, there are no trash fish to chew him up or other elements that would deteriorate his physical stature. No, the lake doesn't move with currents, he would be in a semi frozen state (super cold water). The summer slipped away from us and we didn't get to use the technology (still developing), next summer we'll probably go out and send the scan unit down and look for this fellow. If and when we do that I'll make sure some kind of a news release is done so the public will know...
Not sure if this picture of the article will show up or not???
It shows up, but when you enlarge it, it gets blurry
