St. Cloud State University student Arthur Colberg, 20, who drowned just after 3 pm Monday when his canoe capsized in a windstorm about 100 yards from shore in 26-28 feet of water on Silver Lake, near Monticello, was recovered at about 2:15 pm Tuesday by the Wright County Sheriff's Dive Team. This tragedy, once again, demonstrates the implausibility of speculations that Josh, who remains missing after more than a year and a half, drowned in 10-12 feet of water in a slough 20-30 yards wide while walking on campus. In a post on this board dated 5/1/04 9:11:45 pm, someone pointed out that UW-L student Jared Dion, who drowned in a swift-flowing, 18-ft.-deep section of the Mississippi in April, was recovered in 5 days; and that 9-year-old Brian Jacobson, who drowned in Le Sueur County after jumping from a boat 75 yards from shore, was recovered in just 4 hours. What possible explanation could there be that no one – not even the #1 water search team in the nation – is able to find Josh?
