I've been digging into Earl Sheppard Jr.'s case, and something that puzzles me is the weather conditions during the time he went missing. We know that high waters and heavy rain greatly complicated the search efforts. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with how these conditions might have affected the Arkansas River around early March of 1990. Could the weather have altered the river's currents, making it difficult to predict where Earl might have ended up? Also, if anyone local remembers that specific timeframe, did it seem unusually extreme for the area? These details could potentially offer some insight into why search efforts turned out the way they did. Any thoughts or local insights would be greatly appreciated!
