What a tough job. Thanks for being willing to be a public servant. Were you able to verify the contents of the barrels?
The barrels were located quite a distance from the shoreline. If the father did this terrible deed, he did not have enough time to acquire a boat and/or barrel to get it out there that far. Also, the image indicated that the barrels were there for some time because they were sunk into the muck better than 50%. The time frame would not have allow for that kind of settling.
