Dumping Ground
Kind of ridiculous when you think about it:
A renewed search for a couple at the center of a 50-year-old cold case has led to the discovery of nearly 100 cars that were submerged in the Chicago River. Edward and Stephania Andrews were a married couple from Arlington Heights who disappeared on May 15, 1970.
[...] In another attempt to locate the missing couple, members of the Chaos Divers team jumped into the Chicago River last week in search of the Oldsmobile.[...] The team came to Chicagoland last week in an effort to help crack 10 local cold cases and was focusing on Edward and Stephania’s disappearance. However, their efforts to uncover answers inadvertently revealed another curious case.
During their search on the Chicago River, between Cicero and Diversey, Chaos Divers located nearly 100 cars sunken in the water.
Ninety-seven cars....so far.
If there are any old Auto Theft detectives reading, you might be able to improve the clearance rates by double digits.
And anyone working Cold Cases might want to see if any bodies parts are recovered when they start clearing the wrecks.

This lazy ass dept won’t do a thing it takes hours for lazy dicks and ET techs to get to dry land those cars aren’t going anywhere. We r a big belly dept now just guts sticking out everywhere.
The Oldsmobile(s) are not mine!
Ted Kennedy
list them as drownings.....Charge it to the beaches, making them "dangerous"...
97 older model cars. The cars can be cleaned up and Conehead can open a car museum that can replace the Bears as a city attraction!
FALCO and I were in the Sub-Coup watching as the sunken abandoned cars mated along the river bottom. This Eco system has never before been explored, but for I, Jacque Cousteau!
Insurance fraud
A bunch of crime was committed and it just went on. Kinda like when they say crime is down. Total BS. Stuff is going on, a lot of it never gets solved or is unreported.
That deep tunnel sure swallowed up a lot of shit.
Well.. that will cost some damn tax dollars recovering those fuckin' cars
Next hit the cal sag ghetto area and wolf lake
The very idea that the marine unit hadn’t been doing this like since day 1 is mind blowing.
I demand that the marine unit does this once a month.
I demand that the marine unit does not use overtime to perform this action.
I demand that the marine unit has a open process that the most physically fit competes in an iron man type of event to be placed into the unit.
NO CLOUT.
Wonder if Hoffa or Helen Brach are down there.
Every so often you read about a car found in a pond or quarry with human remains inside. Usually drunk kids going off the road and drowning in the car. I think they found Milt Pappas' wife, still in her car, submerged in a suburban pond. Bizarre stuff.
Do you really think the new breed of detectives solved any crime? Now where is my Netflix and my popcorn? How many crimes are actually cleared by the detective unit?
the dept will request this be counted as 1 recovery to reduce crime
Just numerous parts to one recovery, like the person said.
Have fun cleaning that one up.
Or what, you'll hold your breath.
Whoa Whoa Whoa ,
slow your roll!!!
Take it easy
No clout? You are out of your mind. There are plugged folks who learned to swim while at the marine unit. The marine unit, as are majority of CPD’s units is just a place to hide connected cops. Only CFD should be handling water rescues. The navy, marine core and coast guard don’t all patrol the same water ways. It makes no sense!
That's not the South Branch of the Chicago River. It's the Sanitary & Ship Canal!
So you didn't get in the marine unit, quit crying & answer the radio, loser!
I remember this happening in I think willow Springs where barges were hitng somthing in the Canal the Coast Guard checked and found like 50 cars .this was like 40 years ago
This shouldn’t cost taxpayers anything extra. We have a Marine Unit on salary, Streets and Sanitation tow truck drivers on salary and Detectives on salary. Nothing is urgent, the cars have been down there for a long time. Overtime should not have to apply to the recoveries at all.
Hoffa?
I wonder how many guns are down there...tens of thousands? And btw...It took someone from out of town to think and dredge the river? We must be suffering from a dead pool of thinkers in this town...All of the victims and witnesses are likely dead by now. They can only exceptionally clear-close if anything leads to further investigation. It might help conehead drop the crime rates a few points tho...I always thought that river smelled like death...
+1
I heard that they found a "Buick Electra 225" that once belonged to "Bad-Bad Leroy Brown" he was the baddest man in the whole damn town.
and how will the classic cars recovered be inventoried...as well as guns, no doubt. No one rushing to leave town, that river water kills evidence. Just bones. Bones maybe identified, just means that person is no longer missing. Can't prove how the bones got deep in the river.
Your saying Dianne Masters was a drunk kid?
He wasn't as bad as ole king kong.
What ever happened to all of the dead hookers found in Wolf Lake, late 90's.
and the funny thing is those civilian dept of revenue people have written a lot of those cars' multiple parking tickets in the past 10 years,,,, hmmm ;0
What is the depth in this area?
