I'm curious if anyone else has looked into the weather conditions on December 26, 1978, when Shirley Jean Maske Polk vanished. I came across some historical weather data, and it seems there had been significant rainfall leading up to her disappearance. The Rocky River might've been more swollen and dangerous than usual. Could the weather have played a role in what happened to her? Perhaps someone from the area back then remembers if the river was particularly treacherous around that time. If anyone has more insight or remembers details about the environment during those days, it might help piece together what could've happened. Any ideas?
Has anyone else looked into the weather conditions around December 26, 1978, when Shirley Jean Maske Polk disappeared? I know it might seem like a small detail, but weather can have such a huge impact on an investigation, especially when water is involved. If the river was swollen or the current was unusually strong due to recent rain, it could have influenced where her body might have ended up if, sadly, that's where she ended up. Weather reports from that time might still be accessible and could give us some clues. It’s frustrating how these little details can be overlooked, and any bit of information helps in cases this cold. Thoughts?
I came across an old news clipping from back then and was struck by how little seems to have changed in Shirley Polk's case. They mentioned she might have been close to the river when she went missing. I wonder if there was ever any talk of divers searching the nearby river areas extensively? With today's tech, maybe sonar could reveal something that might have been missed all those years ago. It's frustrating to think there might still be evidence submerged and unnoticed. If anyone's local or has any insights on how thoroughly they searched the river back then, I'd love to hear. Maybe that's where more energy could be directed now?
