Worse news at La Conchita

The bodies of Jimmy Wallet's missing wife and three daughters were found today under the landslide at La Conchita. He is the father who was returning from the market as the mud came down. Wallet worked alongside the searchers until today, but he has left now to be with his surviving 16-year-old daughter, also away from home when the hill slid down. The death toll at La Conchita is so far 10, with six people still missing (two believed buried showed up at a meeting today.) Here's the latest AP story and LAT. The Ventura County Star has numerous stories from the scene and coverage of the finger pointing over the tragedy.
