Thirteen-year old cliff diver gone missing- Jonell Williams, 2nd Period

        A thirteen year-old boy has been missing since midday Sunday after going cliff diving with his friends at a 15-foot cliff near Hapuna Beach State Park on Hawaii's Big Island. The Coast Guard, authorities, and dive teams have been looking for him arduously; "above, beneath and on the water's surface", and by helicopter and boat.
        The boy's sudden disappearance reminded me of the highly publicized Lindbergh kidnapping which was the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's (well-known aviators) son, Charles Jr. He was missing for two months before they found his body close to the Lindbergh home, and two years later the kidnapper was captured and put to death by electric chair. These two situations are similar because of the sudden disappearance of a child, but their reactions and publicity are way different, and I only compare them because there could have been a possibility that the 13 year old boy was kidnaped when he fell, or the remains could possibly be a lot closer than one may think.
