I haven't seen the car. I can't bear to look.

What would've caused that level of damage? Impact from another vehicle?

I have no idea. One would think that if he’d been in an accident there would be evidence of that but I don’t think there was.

The condition of the car was bad.

Unfortunately I don’t think that the car rolled into the pond at slow speed.

Video of the car being removed showed a vehicle that looked like it had been in an accident. The vehicle was totalled. The front, and roof of the car, were caved in.

It looks to me as if it hit something at high speed and then rolled.

MOO

Oooohhh I haven't seen that video! Off to look! This whole thing has been incredibly strange.

MOO, It was mentioned earlier in this thread that the pond was actually a former quarry site... I wonder if the damage is just from the car dropping so far down and hitting large rock formations? If the front of the car is damaged, that would seem to indicate that the car was probably facing the pond rather than him having the car backed onto the boat ramp and fishing out of the back though.

I don’t have words only prayers for this family. May God comfort them and may they Rest In Peace.

Probably the old 'time and money' excuse.....

I find it kind of disappointing that each agency has a different way of handling missing persons some are very proactive and on it from day one and others are, just for lack of a better word lazy about it. Now I get that this was a grown man but there were a few variables in place that they could have at been a little more hands on just to be sure they were not in the lake at all. I review a lot of cases, past and present and its very frustrating to see how some of these are handled and no agency is the same, heartbreaking actually. So many "What If's" about if police had reacted sooner.

I just looked at the video of the car being hauled away. The back bumper is falling off and the roof across the top of the windshield is crushed. I have no idea how fast a car can sink... would hitting rocks while sinking do this kind of damage? I wouldn't think a car "falls" through water that quickly. Could the damage have been caused when they dragged it out maybe?

I think there was a report from 2 girls he was allegedly texting, as he sat inside the car at the lake. They allege that he texted them that his phone was dying, and he couldn't charge it. Could someone else come along and hit the car?

I hope the family gets answers.

I don't see that happening, although anything is possible. The pond doesn't seem to be easily accessible, there is a fence with a gate and a small parking area. It was also stated that no tire tracks were found.

Wish I could tell from the photo, but my eyes are too bad—can anyone else with sharper vision make out whether or not the airbags appear to have deployed?

Oh, I guess that would make it difficult. I do hope that the family gets answers though. Right now I'm certain they are overwhelmed with grief. I was thinking that as time goes on, the lack of answers might make it harder to deal with that grief. Praying for the family.

 

[ashhouston]

I wonder if he was drunk? it being so late maybe? guess will know when autopsies come out very sad

 

[RaspberryMama]

I believe they said the water was quite deep and the car was on the very bottom. Is it possible the damage done to the car was from the weight of the water above and around it?

The car could have sustained damage while it was being pulled out. I am sure more details will be released after the investigation.

 

[IceIce9]

The fact he went fishing at 11:30 at night with 3 littles, as a parent, makes zero sense to me. Unless he had a tent for them to sleep in, what was the plan? 3 cranky kids does not make for a good fishing trip. Makes no sense to me.

Many people fish at night in these ponds. It has been extremely hot and humid here during the day.

I can believe that he wanted to night fish, but that is only one possible scenario.

I am wondering if he had fishing poles and supplies in his car.

 

[Msl1966]

Although this thought won’t really help figure anything out, if he was planning to charge his phone, why didn’t he just plug it in while he was in the car and continue using it. If he was texting when he arrived at park, and low on gas, possibly he turned off the car quickly but forgot to put it in park. Got out and then car started to roll and he dove in trying to save everyone. There are so many possibilities.

 

[mooseandcoffee]

Beyond heartbreaking.

Like others, I wonder if the babies were asleep, Kyle was fishing from the ramp. Without a parking brake, the car could have rolled .... his phone had no juice, he would've tried to get in the car to stop it. Deep reservoir, door open, it would have filled fast and sunk faster. Do we know if Kyle could swim? Even an Olympic swimmer would be no match for water that deep, that dark, that cold.

IMO he drowned trying to save his babies.

Indy22 mentioned that the car had temporary plates...was it new to Kyle? He may have not been so familiar with the location of controls, especially if the car had started to roll in the dark. I'm so sad for all of the family. How do you move on from 4 deaths all at once?

 

[Minasmom]

I just saw the news. I'm so sad over this, I can barely type. Kyle, play & run & fish in Heaven with your babies every day. My prayers are with the family here now - I can't imagine what they are going through. @Indy22 - please pass our condolences from our group here at WS to the family & let them know that while we only knew Kyle & the babies a short while, we care.
