Funeral funds for deceased anglers
Donation protected
Melissa Seidenstricker is the sister to a close friend of my family. I'm setting up a fund raiser for the two families of the anglers found up on Red Lake. All proceeds will be used for costs accrued by the families in this time of heart ache. Any donations would be greatly appreciated to help both families.
Jake Seidenstricker (Melissa's brother) Says: 11/27/17 "Yesterday I was with investigators to go look at the fish house they slept in as we got there they had to take pictures so I sit outside to wait and pull up my binoculars to scan around. I see 2 black dots way off in the distance I tell the investigators about it and say I'm going to drive closer to get a look.
As I drive closer I see the big hole so I figured I'd get off the wheeler and start walking. The dots were out beyond the hole to the north and I was in the east side of the hole about a 1/4 mile away. I walked towards the dots but kept looking at the hole and decided to go in closer to look, I noticed a couple of strange things on the south side of the hole.
So I walked closer to look and here it was my sister's boot and glove and then I saw all of their boots and gloves floating on the edge of the ice. One boot was on top of the ice.
I called the lead search and rescue guy and they hurried out on hovercraft with the ice guys in cold water suits to start the search.
They only found the same stuff I found and my hope was that they got out of the water and left their boots there.
They came back out with a sonar to do down and side imaging which they seen the wheeler and trailer under the ice about 15 ft away from the edge of open water. When they went to recover the wheeler they found the bodies right there and pulled them out.
The 2 black dots that caught my attention were 2 big and beautiful eagles which I could only think that was Melissa and Zeth showing me where to look leading me to the location! Fly high you two! Forever fishing and traveling the sky's!" Lets help the families out everybody!
Jake Seidenstricker adds:
I'm thankful for all my family friends and people who are compassionate and care. Their support and thoughts really help my heart ache.

Zeth's sister, Randi, adds that she and the rest of her family are greatly appreciative of what everybody's doing to help.
