I don't have any recollection of anything up until the day we were told that she was found. - I got a nice bite on my fishing pole. I thought I had a fish, but it kept being so heavy that I couldn't bring it in. When we came to the surface, all I saw was a long black tail. The bag turned over and I saw two big feet sticking me in the face. And it scared Jesus out of me. - This body was in a large nylon duffel bag, about five feet tall. It was pontip hot. And on top of that was large chunks of concrete. When you go to this much trouble to dispose of a body, this is somebody known to the victim.
