    Default 'Disappeared' at Vortex Incident?

    Please excuse if this is in the wrong forum. There are early reports of a another missing diver at Vortex Spring. Any first hand information available? People are asking us, as we are producing a documentary film about Ben McDaniel, who disappeared in August 2010 and has never been recovered or seen since. There is also a TV program that will air tomorrow 3/19/2012 about Vortex. Just a very strange circumstance.

    Thanks for any available clarification.

    Not sure if this link to SB gives you any additional information or not.

    Jax this is not good. I was hoping you mistyped on the other board. This is horrible.

    I understand this too. Ironically the family increased the reward money recently,I hope that this tragedy isn't money driven. I know the family wants closure,but offering a reward of this magnitude will tempt many people. Please,family of Ben McDaniel,if you get see this thread in a Google search,a reward just will jeopardize people,not bring back your son.

    Kelly,

    I really hope this is not related to that. I would hate to even begin to think that it had something to do with it.

    One of my FB friends said the guy at Ginnie was a 57-year-old open water diver.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
