A 24-year-old kayaker who vanished during a family camping trip in Georgia had tied a rock to her ankles with an extension cord in an apparent intentional drowning, police said on Monday. Maranda Whitten’s body was located in Point Lake Monday morning, three days after she was last seen in a teal-colored kayak. “Maranda did have an extension cord which was missing from the campground tied to her ankles which was then tied to a large rock,” Troup County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post Monday. The sheriff’s office said Whitten died of an apparent drowning and the incident is being treated as a suicide. Stewart Smith told WSB-TV, citing witnesses.
