Search concludes with police recovering nine vehicles from small Dallas lake
Five vehicles were pulled from Lake Cliff Park on Friday, following the recovery of four on Thursday.
Camaro among latest vehicles recovered
Investigators said no human remains were found in any of the vehicles, which could indicate they were stolen and dumped. However, that remains under investigation.
The recovery process is slow and potentially hazardous, requiring divers to proceed carefully and methodically.
Residents watch and speculate
Several residents gathered along the shoreline to observe the operation and speculate about how the vehicles ended up in the lake.
"I think it just makes more sense to me that they're probably just drunk," said Eduardo Martinez, a Dallas resident. "You see a little curve over there. If you're drunk and you're uninsured or something, I don't know — probably just uninsured. And then your car ends up in there. What are you going to do? Are you going to call it in?"
Discovery raises concerns for some
Another resident, Inez Simpson, said the discovery was unsettling.
"It kind of heightened my anxiety," Simpson said. "The first thing I thought was about whether anybody was in the car that was submerged. But since I've been informed, they're probably just stolen vehicles that are coming up."
It remains unclear whether the Underwater Recovery Team will return to the lake over the weekend or resume work on Monday. In a statement, the Dallas Police Department said it will post an update when more information becomes available.

Mass shooting at NYC lounge leaves at least 3 dead, others injured; suspects at large
A mass shooting at a crowded lounge in New York City left at least three people dead and eight others injured as police search for multiple suspects, authorities said Sunday morning. Gunfire erupted around 3:30 a.m. at Taste of the City in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn after a dispute took place, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a news briefing. Officers responded within minutes to multiple 911 calls and found 11 gunshot victims ranging in age from 27 to 61, Tisch said. Three victims, two males aged 27 and 35, and a third male of an unknown age, were pronounced dead. The remaining eight victims were being treated at local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, Tisch said. Tisch said investigators believe there were multiple shooters, though no suspects were in custody as of Sunday morning. "We have the lowest number of shooting incidents and shooting victims seven months into the year that we've seen on record in the city of New York," Tisch told reporters. "Something like this is, of course, thank God, an anomaly and it's a terrible thing that happened this morning, but we're going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down." Investigators were canvassing available CCTV footage around the lounge and discovered at least 36 shell casings at the scene. A firearm was recovered near the scene, and police are investigating whether it was used in the shooting. No further details were immediately provided.
