Article on Ben McDaniel - Vortex Springs Case

[ZenDiver.3D]

We are offering the $10,000 because there is someone somewhere in this world who is brave enough to go back there and find Ben," Shelby McDaniel said.

Gotta love the implication that all the divers who risked life in this search, are now cowards.

yep..... these are the same people that took time off from their families, jobs, lives to help them. Traveling at their own expense MULTIPLE times to Vortex to help/search.

Grieving or not, I thought it was pretty classless to bash the people who'd been searching for his son.

He needs a good slap up the side of the head with a 2x4 and to "wake up and smell the coffee".

The 'reward' offer has already been mentioned in the main A&I Vortex Indident thread...

I apologize if I was duplicating. I thought that "original" thread had been inactive for quite some time (i.e. since before the benefit/reward), but I probably should have checked more thoroughly. I really debated posting at all, as I considered that it might just be needlessly stirring up negativity; but then on the other hand, it is/was "news" so....

Again, I'm sorry if it was inappropriate to post.

Its pertinent to the story... no one here is going looking for Ben. Not in Vortex anyway.

That's good. Maybe you can talk some sense into the family and get them to look elsewhere cause he isn't in vortex.

I'm seeking the truth, too: Who are 'we?'

 

[Jim Lapenta]

Want the truth, look in Mexico or some other place the people who decide to drop out of society go to and quit trying to get others to commit suicide. Maybe the reason he went missing is because he was tired of everyone wanting to know where he was. Obvious he was reckless and a danger to himself and others that would have to look for him as evidenced by this stupid act. But he wanted to go missing it seems and I can see why. Being around people who would try to pay others to risk their lives when the best in the business say he's not there.

I volunteer to scour the beaches and waters of Turks & Caicos when I'm there in a few months!
