Not really. Last light is near 8 PM. The poor girl hit a tree and is lucky to be alive. Not everything has to be a "Dateline" episode.

I did all that tubing and whatnot as a kid, but wasn’t particularly fond of it then. You couldn’t pay me to do it now.


Nothing wrong with it as long as you aren't being pulled by an idiot or drunk idiot and you're in a spacious area without trees.

When I was a kid on the Tchefuncte there were submerged barges in a couple of locations.

To be fair, you couldn't pay me to get into the water my dad used to take us tubing on either So the risk of injury is only part of it.

A girl that went to Parkview died tubing a little more than 15 years ago. No way I'd ever pull a tube anywhere that's not wide open.

A woman alone on a jet ski doesn’t need to be stinky

Prob hit an object in the water or something, or simply lost control

It was an accident. They happen from time to time when out on the water in a boat or jet ski.

There’s still a lot of overhanging trees and submerged logs, especially when the water is high...
Hard to see in daylight, let alone at dusk....
Sad.... prayers for a good outcome...

Lots of folks don’t remember that you need to be on the throttle to turn a jet ski, especially in a panicked state.

We know that part. How was it she needed to be “found”?

Se went out on a jet ski and never returned. Seems obvious she would need to be found.

Here is your story. Add it up:

Girl goes out on jet ski by herself after dark. Girl on jet ski hits tree on water's edge. No witnesses. Jet ski either sinks in water or goes into wood line. Girl either goes into shallow water or into woods.

You can plug in the decimals (details) later. You'll get near 100% then.
