This short story is about a recreational diver who spends a long
weekend in Key Largo, Florida at the Jules' Undersea Lodge.
Adventure and reflections follow.
Clues and evidence discovered at an underwater park in the Puget
Sound of Washington State lead divers and police officials to the
conclusion that the accidental death of a diver was no accident at
all. While the murder may be fictional, Bruce Higgins Underwater
Trails in Edmonds, WA is the largest volunteer diver constructed
and maintained underwater park on the west coast. The backgrounds
on the local sea creatures will bring new divers up to speed
quickly on cold water species, and hopefully the information will
be found to be interesting to seasoned divers. Hopefully, this book
is best read between dives, while crossing on a ferry, while on a
live aboard vessel, before visiting the Puget Sound, or just when
you feel like diving, but can't get the time off from the real
world.
The Missing Ones is the true account of the disappearance of
Blanche and Russell Warren. The young hard working couple
disappeared in 1929, seemingly without a trace while drive from
Port Angeles to their cabin near Forks, Washington. At the cabin
eagerly awaiting their arrival, were their two sons, age 12 and 14.
An investigation by the Sheriff's Department failed to find the
Warrens. However, clues led investigators to the belief that the
Warren's had driven into Lake Crescent. The case was largely
forgotten until 1954 when a scuba diving club stumbled upon the
story. In 2001, they passed the story on to National Park Rangers
and divers stationed at Olympic National Park. This is the true
story of how the Warrens disappeared, the 1929 investigation, how
the dive club found the story in 1954 and what they did to try to
solve the case and how the Park Rangers and dive team finally
solved the case in 2004.
