    Is it possible he floated from L Street on New Yrs Day ?

    That area has alot of marsh land especially on the East Milton Granite Ave Side. Anything can get caught in that marsh land and might never be found unless you actually go into the marshes and walk through them. I lived near there and did on several occasions as a kid. Years later as an adult I walked through them again and to my shock and surprise I found my stolen Red Schwien Bike stuck in the mud at low tide. I was 12 when it was stolen.
    Low Tide anywhere always tells the Truth!
