Full Circle

From the earliest knowledge we have been able to obtain, mankind has had a burning desire to tell his story. Regardless of whether you believe that we are a species of Simian origin, or if we came down through the lineage of the biblical Adam, they all wanted their story to be told.

The Arkansas State Police has reported a 2004 Cadillac Escalade driven by 27-year-old Jordan Rainwater was traveling southbound on Clay County Road 232 at 12 a.m. Friday, Aug. 2 when it approached a left hand curve. Rainwater attempted to negotiate the curve and failed to do so properly causing the SUV to leave the south side of the road. Upon leaving the road, the Cadillac began to rollover and the passenger side of the vehicle collided with a ditch embankment. The Escalade came to a final rest upside down in the ditch submerged in a body of water.
