On Saturday evening, April 16, 1983, Robbie Winnecke (15) was digging in a small cave in a dirt hillside. The cave collapsed, burying him under four feet of earth. He was unable to extricate himself. At about 6:30 a stepbrother was looking for him and found his coat and water jug hanging to a tree. He called the authorities. Rescue personnel and locals soon reached the area and saw the signs of fresh digging. The body was found after 45 minutes of digging, at 8:05 p.m.
The collapse was attributed to rain. This is not really a cave incident but is applicable to cave digs.
