This story is tragic, and has most of Utah very concerned. As
background, a Brigham Young University student named Camille Cleverly
has
disappeared. There are very few clues as to what might have happened
to
her. She was last seen riding her bike more than a week ago.
In the Wasatch Mountains northeast of Provo, home of BYU, is a
canyon
called Provo Canyon, which goes past a waterfall called Bridalveil
Falls,
on by the Sundance Ski Resort, and ultimately into a valley near Park
City.
Now a pair of bicycle THIEVES have come forward, claiming that they
found Cleverly's bike "abandoned" at Bridalveil Falls. Since the bike
was
"abandoned" they cut the lock and "took" the bike. (Yeah, right, all
"abandoned" bikes are locked up, and don't we all just happen to carry
bolt cutters in case we happen across an "abandoned" bike? And it's
not
stealing if we call it "taking.")
But the bike turned out to be white hot, so the thieves turned it
and
themselves in...


Wonder what happened to Camille? Did she go hiking and fall? Doesn't
sound good.

Sounds like your guess was right. A repeat search of the Bridalveil
Falls area has found Ms. Cleverly's body in a heavily vegetated area at
the base of a 200' cliff near the falls. The medical examiner will have
the final say, but at this point it looks like the death was accidental
due to a fall.
And if those slime hadn't stolen the bike, the searchers would
likely have succeeded much sooner, maybe even have found the victim alive.

==================

A thought .. just a nutty thought.

Since we know that the bicycle theives took the bicycle, and we know that
the death was accidental..

Could the family of the student who fell to her death sue the thieves for
failure to report the bicycle, or theft?

A long short, I'm sure. But::: if they have any money, doubtful, and they
took her bicycle and she was in distress ..

If the family can get them,,, and it gets publicized ... might cause
bicycle thieves to think twice.
