was it really possible for leslie s body to float from where he said she fell to where she was found 150 feet and three waterfalls downstream? when we brought in the really top-notch water flow experts, we had to go back and try to duplicate the water flow as it was on the evening of the event. reporter: in august. 2009, 15 months after leslie died, investigators headed up to cottonwood creek to conduct some tests. they dressed a woman around leslie s size in similar clothing to what she wore the day she died. and positioned the female stand-in on the rock ledge, where fred said leslie landed before sliding into the water. the forensic people tried to float her from that location, where he alleged that she fell. the water did barely barely touched her body. reporter: so investigators put her in the water to see what would happen. she was then moved into the very center of that stream and it wouldn t budge her.
