just like the movies

We didn't make the drive to Aptos today and instead rode our regular ride through the ugly flats of San Pablo, up Miner Rd., through Lafayette, onto the bike path to Moraga, and then through Canyon. In Moraga, I noticed a "command post" set up in the parking lot next to the watershed reservoir. For some reason, I thought it was a mock set up for practicing. Don't ask why? Later as we rode through Canyon, we noticed several sheriff cars, search and rescue vans, search dogs, and more sheriffs on foot, in ATVs, and on motorcycles.

We wondered what was happening. At one point before the climb up Pinehurst, the sheriff had stopped a car. So, I stopped too and finally got the chance to ask what was going on.

Turns out, they were searching for Nina Reiser who has been missing from Oakland since September of this year. Her husband was arrested last month. The sheriff told me they were making sure Mrs. Reiser's body wasn't in Canyon. I mentioned something about the Prime Suspect series, and he said they had their PS.

As we continued the ride and saw all the search and rescue teams, it seemed just like something we had seen in Prime Suspect. I sure hope they find her and find out who killed her.
