Discovering the Unknown
No one knew what to expect when the water was drained. What secrets was that murky water hiding for almost 18,000 years? While some people thought engineers would find hidden treasure, others thought they would discover something more sinister. As the days went on, engineers found more and more bones but weren’t sure if they were from humans or from large animals that accidentally fell into the falls.

Then one day, engineers came across two skeletons, which researchers determined were of a man and a woman. Based on witness accounts, the male jumped had jumped to his death years before. However, the story surrounding the female is unknown and perhaps more tragic. But this didn’t stop people from speculating what happened to her moments before her death.
