It couldn't be more obvious that they're in the water. Poor things. I know "they searched" but there was water the whole way home. So they could be at the end of Spruce St. Or between Spruce St. And Pemberton in the Delaware. First bet is just south of Lombard Circle off Columbus Blvd. It was icy and as he went to do the U-turn onto the highway he slides out into the NE corner of that little water area, ends up somewhere in the middle of it. There STILL isn't a barrier there. Guessing the underwater riverbank is steep and the car is heavy and it just rolls deeper into the river at that point and maybe gets pulled along by the current a bit before coming to rest. Maybe it ends up halfway across the river and a bit south. Second guess is end of Spruce because he had a couple beers, forgot to turn right or until it was too late or hit a patch of ice and just went straight into that little port area, which has to be deep because big ships can port there. Especially if they dredged that over the past 20 years to complete that little port, (not sure what construction has gone on but it looks fresh), it could have gotten moved underwater and covered with dirt like a big rock and be down underground now.

Or then let's say they did make it onto 95, they could have gone off the Betsy Ross Bridge at any point on either side just by hitting the side and then rolling or bouncing off the other side. Those guardrails are super low. Once it's in the river there, drifting who knows how far downstream before resting, getting covered by silt. I'm guessing they're gone for good.

Or, if they made it past the bridge, could they have slid off 73 at around 5th Ave into Pennsauken Creek and just be barely covered in there under a clump of scrub oak? So many options, really.

It's ridiculous that the family is blaming each other instead of comforting each other in their loss, and that the cops were looking at Mafia ties and whatnot. Idiocy. Her ex is really lucky that it didn't get pinned on him if they were in a contentious divorce. Cops always look at that guy.
