Thanks, I’m too old with health problems to do it now. I felt for those divers in TN when I seen that water. We used to call that tomato soup diving. They just close their eyes and feel the way thru following a rope. I’m glad they came out safe of course.

There are other members with rescue experience on Websleuths and many cases on here can use your knowledge.

The cases I’m following right now are so mind twisting that I’m surely no help. I’m glad to have resources on here and when I found this site, it thrilled me to see that so many people care enough to spend time in hopes of helping out victims and getting justice.

I am not victim blaming but I have doubt that Volwell was standing up conscious in knee deep water after getting struck in the head by the butt of a gun and knocked out of a boat. Sorry I keep saying the same thing over I am just baffled.

I think there’s more to come too.

you don't need a criminal record to snap, especially if he was sick or was using pills ..you see the number of murder/suicide have gone up these days

David Vowell's body was found about 3 p.m. in the waters of Reelfoot Lake in Obion County, about 50 miles north of Jackson, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation tweeted.

Volwell will not be able to tell his side of the story and we only get what Crabtree tells unless Volwell's body shows something different. JMO.

I agree. If he was last seen standing up in the water how did he manage to go under the water? Just me surmising.

I was thinking he may have committed suicide, possible handgun, but I’m really interested to see what his autopsy shows.

Well here is a different version of Crabtree's story. Saying Volwell knocked on the door of the blind and started shooting and he knocked Volwell unconscious. NOT last seen standing up in knee deep water. I think his story keeps changing and not reporting errors.

Well, did he knock him unconscious into the water? This is getting more curious every time.
Moo

How did this story go from Volwell asking to use the blind with them and loading his gun in the boat to Volwell knocking on door and shooting? Something is wrong here.
I will feel better when LE gives a presser.

NOT last seen standing up in knee deep water. I think his story keeps changing and not reporting errors. Now Volwell is seen walking out of water towards bank.
LE will not be able to correctly investigate the scene because victims were moved, which I would have done also. Now we understand how he took the victims to get help, in the boat.

How did he know that he briefly knocked Volwell out? How far was the blind from the water? What happened to the story of the man asking to hunt and then opening fire?

 

[cuffem]

Also noticed the last sentence that LE kept searching the lake and felt Volwell did not leave the water. I read numerous articles stating LE felt he was not in the water and was in the woods or got help.

Here is another recent article stating LE thought he left on foot because his vehicle and boat were found.

What happened to Volwell standing in the boat loading his weapon and Crabtree knocked him out of the boat?

 

[Marg from Oz]

Sounds like we are reading a few different threads here.lol. I can't keep up with it. I did say in my first post that I thought it was suss. JMOO

 

[SuziQ]

This is all very odd!

I kind of figured we would get a report of some kind by tonight.

 

[sandy_80]

so they couldn't figure from which gun the killing shots came ?
