Tragic Boating Accident.
I wanted to post this separate because it's pretty damn depressing.
I'm not sure if I have talked about Sarah's sister Liz much. Sarah and Liz were really close until Sarah's parents disowned her. Well, Sunday her and some friends went for a boat ride and, well let me C&P the news story, they tell it better.

"MAUREPAS, LA (WAFB) - The body of the final person missing from a boating accident Saturday was found Monday morning.
The body of Ryan Ducote, 24, was found around 8 a.m. in Lake Maurepas near Blind River. The search was resumed in the morning after being suspended Sunday due to bad weather. The bodies of Anna Hite and Mikayla Thibodeaux were found Sunday.
One other boater was taken to hospital after the incident and is expected to recover. Another boater was unharmed.
According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the five boaters stopped to jump into the water for a swim. The boat was left idle with the engine running.
Unfortunately, when the last person in the boat tried to jump into the water, their clothes got caught on the throttle, which engaged the engine.
The boat went into gear and hit four of the five swimmers. It then continued to circle the group until it ran out of gas.
Another boater in the area saw what happened and rescued the two survivors.
The incident remains under investigation."
Well, Liz was that one person that was unharmed. She said the boat missed her by a few feet. That has got to be a haunting experience. I mean, this is something that only happens in movies! The kids ranged in age from 14 to 26. The 14 year old was one of the ones killed.
