    I can't even begin to imagine the pain the parents went through during and after this tragedy. I wouldn't wish this to happen to my worst enemy.

    Totally Preventable Incident.
    That Episcopalian Master is about as creepy as creepy gets

      Yes, talking about patience and praying in a soft tone. If I had been a parent or relative of a missing teenager I'd have been sooo angry with him..

    This too happened at Banf, Alberta to students and faculty of a private school from PhilaDelphia suburb.

      I believe it also happened to Scottish school children in 1971. So tragic. Same as here, the weather turned bad.

    Unaccountably graphic descriptions amid saccharine cliches. News on earth.

    Did DNA testing not exist during this time to identify people?

      Not yet. Even now it is expensive and takes time. Clothing and dental records are the main thing they go to
