When he was last seen more than two months ago, Bobby Shore had escaped the rapidly sinking SUV that crashed Dec. 13 into Alabama’s Weiss Lake with seven people inside.
The two women who survived the icy plunge “still place him there and say he was swimming downstream,” said Cherokee County, Ala., coroner Dr. Jeremy Deaton.
Weiss Lake“The search still continues,” Deaton said Tuesday. “We were down there all day Saturday looking again.”
Shore is presumed dead, but Weiss Lake has not given up his body. Deaton said searchers believe Shore’s body is somewhere between the boat ramp at Lee’s Landing and the Alabama Power Co. dam. An almost straight line drawn between those two points is about 2.75 miles long.
“We have no evidence to prove he’s alive and still have no body,” Deaton said. He said investigators checked Shore’s bank cards and cellphone records for activity but found nothing.
