I've always been intrigued by the role weather might have played in John's case. Does anyone know what the weather conditions were like on April 9, 1985, around the Mississippi River in East Baton Rouge Parish? Given that river conditions can change drastically with even a slight weather shift, I'm wondering if it could have contributed to the strength of the current that day. Also, was there any record of water levels or warnings issued due to conditions at the river around that time? Any insight or records could shed some light on whether factors like debris or high water levels might have exacerbated the situation. It's just heartbreaking to think about the events of that day and how things might have spiraled so quickly.

I’ve been scrolling through the details of John Mestayer's case, and something struck me about the area he went missing in. The Mississippi River is notorious for its strong currents and tricky tides, but that particular stretch near East Baton Rouge has always been especially dangerous. Does anyone know if there have been other incidents or near-misses reported there around that time? I can’t help but wonder if there were warning signs or any sort of increased patrols following John’s disappearance. With the river playing such a huge role in this tragedy, I’m curious if changes were made afterward to prevent similar accidents. Any local input or historical context would be appreciated!
