re: Lafayette Sheriff's daughter and babysitter missing

I don't think she made it all the way to Lake Martin, although there is a channel that cuts through there. My bet is that they got turned around in the flooded woodland and when they came on the channel she made the decision to just follow the channel to wherever it took them. That is a good strategy if turned around in a relatively small swamp. The channel took them probably to the roadway where they were found. This will probably be revised to "Lake Martin area."

While the babysitter may have lost her job, you've got to give her credit for keeping the child safe overnight in that environment. Little decisions become very important decisions. There are a million gators and snakes out there.
