    Didn't they use cadaver dogs but they didn't indicate?

    The theory I heard the most from people is that someone might have gotten rid of the body. There was also some weird story about one the owners (?) that past away under weird circumstances.

    Unfortunately there hasn't been any closure on it, but the family was issued a death certificate in 2013. There are four theories as to what happened.

    1. His body is still in the cave
    2. He faked his own death
    3. Diver drowned and was subsequently removed from the water
    4. Foul play


    If the corpse is still in the cave, it is under a ridiculous amount of sand. Most recovery divers consider idea this highly unlikely. With the amount of effort spent searching in a cave that takes ~45 minutes to dive, it's plausible that he faked his death. When I entertain the idea of faking my own death, a 'solo cave dive accident at night' seems to be a damn good way.

    Closure? Sure, he's still gone.

    He's in Argentina running a Ponzie scheme with Jimmy Hoffa.

    Wasn't there some incident at Vortex where the owner or previous owner of vortex seriously jacked someone up and left them for dead near a gator area expecting them to die and get eaten, but then I think the man awoke and stumbled back and was hospitalized. then the entire incident just sort of went away. probably some legal team got paid $$ ,but anyway i heard bits and pieces of this happening there also.....
