FOUND 70 y/o Missing Teacher.. (Behind-the-Scenes Search for Robert Heikka - Day 1)

[@kraelewis]

He was my daughters teacher. He will definitely be missed. All the kids liked him.

[@missvida6251]

My condolences to Mr Bob

[@STHFGDBY]

Did that cop say '' If someone was in it they're deceased right ? '' No officer, they're probably just asleep.

[@pockettangerine]

i think they were more so confirming that this was a vehicle that didn’t newly go under the water. it’s possible someone could be alive if they had an air pocket in the vehicle, though unlikely. the presence of the growth on the car meant it definitely wasn’t a recent crash and that needed further immediate action to attempt to save someone’s life.

I know it's a long shot, but there's a cold case here in Tennessee involving a woman who went missing after she was released from jail. Last seen in a car leaving. Car hasn't been found, and had some shady people around. My friend from highschool is wanting answers for her mom. She went missing nearly 22 years ago when my friend was an infant.

[@leek.3671]

I believe they have a website and email where you can send this - there are also a few other dive and rescue teams who have worked with them that are also really good. Hope this helps!

My God how many of our missing are under water?

[@ajmatt574]

Probably more than we’ll ever know

[@LucaPiromalli]

Excuse my question, I don't want to disrespect anyone, but as an Italian I find all these disappearances in vehicles at the bottom of a river very strange, in Italy such an event is very rare, however in the USA I notice that it happens very often, How come? Obviously because there are many more lakes and rivers but I noticed that on the roads that run alongside a watercourse you almost never have a guardrail to prevent cars from ending up in the water, in our country all the watercourses water near the roads are entirely enclosed by guardrails. Anyway you are great guys!!! What you do honors you!! Maximum respect and greetings from Italy! HI!!

[@carolinef.6345]

I agree with you that it's very strange, and tragic. I suppose it has to do with the fact that a American driver's licence is easier to obtain than in Europe, which may lead to more accidents. Also, there are more isolated and poorly-secured places where you can get into an accident without being noticed; whereas, in Europe, they find you immediately if you run off the road. Also, mental health (insurance) isn't a thing in the US, so there are more suicides. 😞 I don't know, I'm just trying to imagine possibilities. 😢

[@distractioneer8425]

Glad you made this post. You are so right on. Something weird went down when they found Kiely Rodni in Truckee, calif. it’s why they won’t get involved in foul play incidents anymore. Just my opinion.

[@NMWriterofWords]

I don’t watch any of the so-called friends that abandoned him immediately with no evidence of guilt no trial nothing. He’s out here doing what he needs to do very low-key not bragging about all of the stuff they’re getting and the others are not out there for the right reason in my opinion.

I always felt that Doug tried to be overly dramatic. I really like how Jared is always calm and cool about things.

[@naerbo19]

Note on the Lily Pad Pond from layman: if a vehicle goes into the pond, the car will push down any lily pads under it due to the length of the stalk not being long enough to reach from under the car, to the edge of the undercarriage and then to the top. If I'm right, if there were a vehicle in a lily pad pond, you should see a vehicle sized hole in the lily pads and maybe some higher than normal dead lily pads on top of the water from vehicle ripping and breaking stalks as it enters, if at higher speeds. Anyone has anything to add or refute? If my reasoning is wrong, tell me so I can learn if you have the time.

According to the law yes… but unfortunately when a man is accused of such a crime, he’s always guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the public, and even when he IS innocent he’s still guilty in the eyes of the people, he looses almost everything and almost everyone in his life abandons him… a man has to prove his innocence… in times like this he finds out who his real friends are… I will always support Jared and AWP 😎

Since yall have now seen so many of these cases. Its really brought awareness to me on how easy this could happen to anyone & to carry something to break glass easily because its obvious these cars are coffins once going into a body of water. I just had to ask tho as I'm wondering. I have to wonder if I was in this line of work if I'd get nightmares of drowning in a car being trapped inside.
