LORTON, Va. - (WUSA) - A search is underway for a missing Fairfax county police diver in Pohick Bay in southern Fairfax county. The diver was involved in a training excercise Tuesday afternoon, which began at about 1:30 p.m., and he was first reported missing at about 2:45 p.m., according to Officer Don Gotthardt, a spokesman for Fairfax county police.
Gotthardt says crews from Fairfax county police and Fairfax county fire/rescue immediately began trying to locate the missing diver, and are continuing that search, using helicopters, marine patrol units, and canine units. Those Fairfax county crews are also being assisted by personnel from city of Alexandria and Prince William county police and fire, as well as the U.S. Coast guard, and other agencies.
Gotthardt says police divers are used primarily for search and rescue missions, and are also utilized for gathering of evidence in or near bodies of water. The missing diver involved in Tuesday's training excercise is only identified at this point as a male police officer. Police were unable to provide any details about the nature of the training exercise that the missing diver was involved in.

The WaPo article today says he was wearing a dry suit, but had no air apparatus
Its odd to be wearing a dry suit w/out an air tank, becuase dry suits are normally inflated with air from the tank.

Apparently the missing diver was playing the part of victim that needed to be rescued in the training exercise.
I guess they didn't rescue him.

Oops, I might have backed over his ass with the cruiser....
Oh well, no jury in Virginia will convict me anyway...so sorry!
On a more serious note, does this motherfucker get the Academy Award or what! He played the part of a drowning victim with perfection...BRAVO!

How horribly sad, I am assuming that was the LT's body that was found?
Does anyone know of the funeral arrangements, when, where?
Amanda, would you care to go with me?

I will assume that Spunky attends random funerals of those she does not know personally. Fits her profile perfectly.

Amanda - you sick little whore. I hope you never need the aid of the police. Maybe your sorry ass will be violated and you will need the help of the police. My hope is that they are all busy helping people who need it. Did I mention you're a little whore?
