Staff thanks for removing the video. I think an unsourced, edited video has no place on this thread. Thank you.

So for those that have been around, or have actually participated in, SAR operations before: what's the window of time that the dogs will be able to smell/find people? Is there a window of a few days? Few weeks? Months?

And I know dog's noses are amazing, but what are their limits here? Seeing that pic of the F250 buried made me wonder how far beneath the water/mud could something be and the dog still hit on it? I know there are variables at play…just trying to wrap my head around the timeline going forward and how many more days we could actually expect to hear that someone might be found.



Cadaver dogs have been used to help locate Marine remains on Tarawa some 70 years after they were buried. One dog, named Buster, helped locate Cemetery 27 that held something like 40 remains. There aren't many like Buster though.

It is nice up there. I usually head to petoskey/traverse/charlevoix when we head that far north. We have a couple spots mid state on each coast we like to try and rent a cabin at once a year if we can.

I keep saying I'll make it back to Texas now that I have a few friends that live there. That heat though, I won't forget that from when I helped my buddy move there. It was the end of June and got warmer each day I was there. The day I left his car read 108 at 10 a.m. in Houston. Had his windows down, we both look at one another squinting, I ask if his eyes are burning, and he says yep. I told him good luck.

I just saw the most poignant video of the walk of crosses which now have flags and flowers. With 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' as the background. I don't have words. It was on Instagram.

I would post it here but don't know the source but it is beautiful.

Saw this comment on FB by a Twin's 2 mom about her daughter who survived: "She was able to make it out of Twins 2 alive. Swimming out her cabin window, floating on a mattress and swimming to a tree down past Bug House. One of the girls with her had a flashlight and helped guide them to the tree. They sat in the tree for 2+ hours waiting to be rescued from the tree."

Someone upthread asked why some girls in the affected cabins were able to survive.

With Katherine Ferruzzo being found, the final unaccounted for person in Bubble Inn is Ellen Getten.

Her family seems to have been silent and her story mostly untold. The Bubble Inn story has really stuck with me so I've been paying attention to their stories. I so hope she is found in rapid fashion.


Ellen was located yesterday morning confirming the worst for Bubble Inn.

The body of the final Beaumont victim has been located. I am thankful this dad is no longer having to search.


This is from Aidan's university this morning.

Is that the final Bubble Inn girl? I don't think I saw whether Cile or Virginia had been recovered? I think it was these three remaining as of a couple of days ago.

Both of those girls were from Twins right?

Cile and Virginia were both in twins cabins (both in twins 2 together) and as of yesterday at least were still unrecovered. There has been some confusion because both families have posted gofundmes essentially confirming the reality that they are presumed deceased, but neither girl has been recovered in order to lay to rest.

It is incredible the search has recovered as many as they have, from the sounds of it. God willing they will both be found as well.

I MIGHT be mistaken, but remember the picture of the two young blonde girls in the helicopter that led to confusion that some lost girls had been found alive? I want to say I read those were twins girls who had been in a tree or something similar. Could be wrong, but those girls in that photo looked about the right age.

The families posted gofundmes? Or posted that foundations have been established in their names?

The Hollis and Steward families posted gofundmes, yes. It feels wrong to post just theirs without all the girls', maybe I will collect the memorial info I can find for all girls.

There is a friend of Virginia's family who posts on this thread, and can probably confirm, but I saw posts from friends in Bellville yesterday that she is still missing.

I have seen several families have already established foundations in their daughters' names.

I haven't seen any crowd-funding solicitations.

Yes Virginia is still missing.

Edited post: gofundme is legit.

I would tend to agree. I would be highly suspicious of gofundmes for the CM girls.

Yes Virginia is still missing. I could be wrong but I believe there is not a go fund me set up for her. If their is it is most likely a scam and not legit

It has over 150k donated to it so I am hoping it IS legit. If you know the family might want to confirm because WOW that is a major scam if so. https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-sweet-virginia-hollis

There are several families who have gofundmes set up in the girls names with hundreds of thousands of dollars to them. I really hope they are legit. its a TON of money (I haven't personally donated to any -- but just absolutely would be gutted to see how much money is being funneled not to the families if that is the case)

Gofundme is usually pretty good about shutting it down and preventing funds from going to scammers if they are alerted to it by the alleged beneficiary. If you know the family, I would reach out just to make sure they are aware of it and know the organizer. The one for Virginia Hollis is organized by somebody named Shara Ticku in NYC. Based on some googling, it appears she is from San Antonio and went to tu, but not sure what her connection to the family in Bellville might be.

Nearly all the families have set up links to memorial funds. I am not at all implying any certain place needs particular donations, but since the families wishes were for donations and memorials, it feels odd to share just one or two and not all... so here they are. If anything is incorrect or any links are in error, please let me know and I will edit.

Oh thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize they were in twins. I hope they all can be found soon.
