I can’t imagine living there either. What is the draw that brings and keeps people living there?I can’t imagine living somewhere where my children are at risk just trying to get to school, knowing this is a regular occurrence with a heavy rain or during a certain month(s) of every year.
Or that medical response would not be able to reach me either.
What was so important that they needed to cross that area? If an emergency - why take all those children?
Petitte ignored two “Do not pass when flooded” signs. Chief Quayle’s says Petitte may have been impaired.
GCSO: Man dead after car was swept away by Tonto Creek floodwaters
Gila County Board of Supervisors Chairman Tim Humphrey told the meeting that a federal grant request to pay for a bridge was denied.
A bridge has long been desired at Bar X, but the $20 million price tag is out of reach for the county and was rejected multiple times by the federal government. The most recent denial came just last month.
Willa's body was discovered by a pediatrician and his wife, who were volunteering and searching in a canoe.
”He just said she looked really good. He said he didn't think it would affect him like that, being a pediatrician. But he was affected by it. He said she looked really good and still had her bow in her hair," said Campbell.
RSBM Their volunteerism is to be lauded, it’s a blessing they found Willa. But. She looked really good? Dead children usually don’t affect him because he is a pediatrician?
What is going on in Tonto Basin? It’s like watching a more bizarre real life Twin Peaks.
No doubt the parents are devastated, but the dad should bloody well be charged with their deaths, not continuing to rake in money.
GCSO: Willa Rawlings' body found north of Roosevelt Lake
Thank you, I like your way of thinking. He may have been put on the spot and I can agree he thought he was saying the most compassionate thing.The comment he made, that she looked really good, broke my heart.
MOO I think I understand why he said that. He wanted folks to understand that she wasn't decomposed, and that she was an angel that he saw and represented what she was here on Earth.
And that folks who remembered her, would think of her as we knew her and her pictures.
I guess I believe that, because it comforts me that she wasn't decomposed and her body was not recognizable. And giving the description that the bow was still in her hair, made me want to hug her and cry.
I think he was trying to do a positive thing for the community.
I saw a video on a cell phone from a local that was there....the video took place at another crossing about a half mile to mile from where they were swept away, two hours prior to the rescue call of Daniel crossing another barricade almost as if showing off in his “military style vehicle” the video was sent to gila county sheriffs department but have not heard of any charges. I live in the area where this family lives and the go fund me account is only a small portion of the money given to these murders!! I am sickened by the over flow of money this family has been given (during the holidays nonetheless) for killing their children!! My prayer is that they will be held responsible and punished to the full extent of the law and made an example of for the rest of the state that there are accidents and then there is carelessness and stupidity. On top of being charged with murder I hope they have to pay the go fund me account back (at the very least) as it states in the fine print of the terms and conditions that when a crime has been charged involving the go fund me all monies have to be repaid. These people, Daniel and lacy are being made out to be heroes and victims but when someone gets in the car drunk and kills another person are they the victims and receive thousands??? At least the intoxicated person has that excuse they were intoxicated..... what’s Daniel and Lacy’s excuse?? And even more infuriating during their interview the interviewer did not insist on them answering why they crossed that barricade to begin with......” Daniel and Lacy do not want discuss what happened....” a e you kidding me!!I wonder if there was an emergency that caused this father to ignore the warning signs.
