Hey everyone, I'm going down a bit of a rabbit hole here with Wayne's case from 1982. I keep getting stuck on something that’s been bugging me: the area around the Yukon River Bridge where he was last seen. Does anyone know if there was any construction or maintenance work being done on the bridge around that time?
I’m wondering if any crews or local workers might have seen or heard something that didn’t get recorded. I've read through some articles, but they don't seem to focus on any possible witnesses nearby. Considering how remote and vast that area is, it seems like those working on the bridge could be crucial to unraveling what happened. It's a long shot, but any lead is worth digging into, right?
Hey everyone, I've been looking into Wayne's case lately, and I came across some older local news reports about the weather conditions around the time of his disappearance. It seems like the weather was pretty harsh with a lot of rain that week. I'm wondering if anyone knows how the rain might have affected the Yukon River's water levels or currents at that time? It would be really helpful to understand the environment Wayne was navigating. Also, if anyone has insight into his usual comfort level with water or swimming, it might help piece things together. Just trying to look at all angles here. Thanks!
