Stella: Is it possible that they were victims of serial killer Robert Garrow? Same month, same area where he went on his killing spree.
Two for the Road: Anything is possible in this case. That's what makes it so hard to solve.
Stella: The Allyn Smith story seems plausible. People wonder, if the story was true, why didn't he, as a Navy veteran, help them. Simple; he was looking out for #1. If he called the police to report a drowning couple, he would've probably been arrested for drugs and failure to render aid (?). He admitted in his story that he and the driver were both heavily stoned at the time. Their drug induced attitude would've been along the lines of a lackadaisical, "oh, well...". In fact, he was so out of it, he couldn't recall the name of the lake/river they stopped at.
As far as Robert Garrow, he was shot dead by police while trying to escape. I don't know if he ever said anything to his lawyer but I hope there is DNA belonging to him somewhere, just in case remains are found.
