"Could Josh could have fallen into a small body of water, yet remain missing 20 months later after extensive searches by local dive teams and a definitive search by the elite Trident Foundation? ''A father and two sons from Chicago reported missing last month [washed up] on a Lake Michigan beach, their bodies bound together with rope and tied to bags filled with sand, police say... The amount of time the three were believed to be in the water was consistent with how long they had been missing - about six weeks... The [police] chief said the three were tied together with nylon rope, either through belt loops, a belt or around one child's waist. Also tied to the bodies were two nylon book bags, each containing personal belongings and two plastic bags filled with sand. 'One of the children also had pants pockets filled with sand, which had been zipped closed,' he said. This added 48 pounds of weight, he said.''
