finding the truth

GREEN BAY - A 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student who disappeared two weeks ago was inside her car that plunged into the Fox River near downtown Green Bay, police said Friday. An autopsy positively identified Mahalia Xiong, Capt. Karl Fleury said at a news conference. The Brown County medical examiner said Thursday he believed the body was Xiong's. The 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Green Bay student's car was found Thursday in the Fox River. Xiong had been missing for nearly two weeks.
After the recovery of the body, Brown County Medical Examiner Al Klimek said the preliminary indications suggested an accidental death with no sign of foul play, pending results of the autopsy and toxicology tests.
I find it very difficult to believe that she would of just drove off into the water. She was not the type of person who was depressed nor was she suicidal in anyway. She had everything going for her and she worked hard to get there. She was an over achiever, and believed that everything and anything can be acomplished.
What the local news stations failed to mention was the amount of alcohol consumption it would of taken to get her blood alcohol up to .12. The medical examiner stated her blood alcohol was equivalent to having 5 beers in 3 hours. Which is above the legal limit of .08 and we are not disputing that fact, but for someone to truely be intoxicated after only that much alcohol consumption in 3 hours is unlikely.
Other facts the media failed to mention:
1. Her drivers side window was open.
2. Her a/c was on.
3. Her body was found in the backseat.
4. That area and the river had been searched the week before and they found her tire tracks and car a week later?
5. Her cell phone along with other things are still missing.
She was also a good swimmer, why would she move to the back if her window was open? None if this makes any sense. We feel and know in our hearts that there was foulplay involved. Whom ever did this KNEW what they where doing and it had to of been premeditated. There are just too many unanswered questions and inconsistancies with all the stories from who was last seen with her and who found her tire tracks.
Another fact: The area where her vehicle was found, was between the mason and the main bridges along the fox river. There is a man operated tower on each bridge and a bar across the river. I find it very unlikely that with her headlights on in a remote dark area NO ONE saw or HEARD her vehicle go into the water. Someone somewhere knows something and needs to own up to it. Come forward and let us know. We are only looking for answers.
It is easier to believe that she would of just drove off because of poor judgement due to alcohol, but all the facts and pieces do not fit. Anyone who had lost a loved one in a tragic way would understand, because who would know you better than your own family.
When you are done reading this, please pass it along to as many people as possible. We just want our story to be heard and hopefully some truth or answers about that night will come out.
