Secretary Haaland does appear to be the GET HER DONE GAL I hope it continues for all of our sakes.

Graball Landing is not actually where the body was removed from the river. It even says that on the sign in the video, "Till's body MAY have been removed from the river here". All the video narrator had to say was, "the site where his body is believed to have been recovered", even though the sign goes on to say that the FBI recorded the site several miles downstream.
