Diver Hunts Auto In Quarry Hole
Fresh oil stirred up by a diver s descent in an abandoned quarry at Columbia revived hope that some trace of missing Eaton Township insurance agent May yet be found. Diver Bill Virgin of Lorain made two descents into 100 foot depths as spectators watched. A tow truck hauled on a heavy object but could not raise it. Local funds ran short so Virgin dived with a donated compressor and assistance from Baltes expeditor and others. The slick oil spread across the water signaling possible vehicle remnants or crime connection.
