Divers Search Wisconsin River for Buoyed Weight Linked to Rape Case
Divers in BLUE RIVER Wisconsin use an underwater light to locate a weight believed tied to Buford Sennett who dropped the body of eight year old Georgia Jean Weckler into the Wisconsin river last May. George Lehmann of Watertown found a flat cement-like piece two by four feet partially buried in river sand. He could not inspect it closely in dim water. District Attorney Francis Garity of Jefferson County says the item matches Sennett description of the weapon used to weight the body as he and an accomplice dumped it off the Bridge here on May 2. Lehmann could not raise the object due to a diving suit failure and barge movement. An underwater light has been donated by the Dane county sheriff to resume digging.
