After the Drowning Two Face Charges | Oakland News

A tragic drowning death at a North Texas lake has led to arrests after two teens allegedly fled the scene and destroyed evidence. Eighteen-year-old Daniel Erving died after jumping from a railroad bridge, and police say 19-year-old Lucas Roper and a juvenile were present but chose to vanish instead of calling for help. They’re now charged with tampering with evidence — including ditching Erving’s clothes and tossing his phone — and Roper admitted deleting messages knowing an investigation was coming. The case is still active, a chilling reminder of how panic can escalate tragedy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
