One of the rescue team tried to re-enter the tunnel to drill a new hole and tie a fresh rope around John’s legs, but almost became stuck himself and had to crawl out of the cave. John himself ...
had created deep pockets and tunnels. There, at the mouth of Nutty Putty Cave, Sanchez found peace and pain. John Jones remains inside, entombed in the cave where he died on Nov. 25, 2009.
