After being contacted by a local firefighter, who knew 6 vehicles had been identified in the river at the York Hill Boat Ramp, he knew that something had been missed by the local agencies, asking us to really consider making the 3000-mile trip to help Judy and her family bring Nick home.
After a short period of just 30-minutes on the water using side-scan sonar, we identified 3 vehicles underwater with one of them appearing to be in the shape of a Dodge Journey, similar in size and shape to Judy's car.
Sam and Jared suited up in their dive gear and within minutes, were able to identify the Dodge Journey, pulling the license plate, confirming what the family had feared.
The windows were up on the car and as such, we could not yet confirm if Nicholas Allen was inside the car.
After a short conversation with the family, the local Sheriffs Department was called, turning the case over to them with services being offered to help in any way our dive team could.
The local agencies pulled our team out of the area, taking over from there to remove Judy's car from the river.
After the car was recovered from the river, it was confirmed that human remains were indeed inside the car but could not yet confirm with the family that it was Nick.
Within the week, the Sheriff's Office has confirmed, it was Nicholas Allen.

mxxconI feel like this a dupe? Unless there's another similar incident posted here?
lucky760Sad.
So was it a suicide?
newtboyWorthless lying pigs should be put in one of those other cars for 8 months while their family is left in the dark..
Officer seems pissy, defensive, and obstructive, likely because he's caught not even trying to solve this case, and a professional civilian team found the car and missing boy in 30 minutes. We checked the river here, he says....but didn't find the car that was exactly where they thought it was. There's no body in it, he says, then orders the discoverers away....like he might be able to make SURE the body isn't still there before raising the car.
His behavior begs the question, were the police involved? They sure act like it.
DuoJetsays...Cops are compensated and protected from accountability whether they do their jobs well or not. Unless there's an incentive to perform, why bother?
bobknight33Mostly its Unions that protect bad cops. That needs to change.
These cops, like any organization run things their way.
EX. In my Co. that I work for If you need a CD burner I have to charge you $700 ( if you not under a contract). What I want to say but can not, is that you can buy one locally for $20.
Additionally, The customer because of their rules, they find it extremely hard to get one locally due to their purchasing system.
