I actually have an idea of what the sewage treatment pond visit could have been about. I don't think the guy was trying to kill his kid. From the sound of it I think he had a lot of problems but at least part of him was trying to do the right thing and take the kid out each Sunday. You mention he was into flight and flying, and I think he probably heard or read about how sometimes you can see the special migratory birds if you visit a sewage treatment pond. He probably wasn't knowledgeable enough to go at the right time of day or maybe he even had the wrong time of year. So the birds weren't there. The birders weren't there. And it would be a little scary as you're wandering around thinking, Gosh, I've really screwed up this outing. There are also verboten areas that you might be more likely to wander into if you don't quite know what you're doing. So what could have been something really special was turned into something really creepy. What a very sad story. And I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and how she couldn't overcome so much sadness.
