Californian Hunts for Bin Laden's Body in the North Arabian Sea

A Californian named Bill Warren is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to help locate Osama Bin Laden's body at the bottom of the Arabian Sea in order to prove his death. With the help of investors from Chicago, Scotland, and New York, he has purchased expensive SONAR equipment that was used to help find the Titanic. With the aid of this "side-scanning" SONAR, will Mr. Warren be able to locate the notorious criminal's body? While many say the body is decomposed by now, Warren says that the body should be preserved by the rubber-lined and zipped Navy burial bag in which he is presumably wrapped.

If the body is found, Warren says he will take videos, photos, and retrieve DNA to help prove Bin Laden's identity. While this may seem like a reach, Warren has pretty good confidence that the body will be located. In his phone interview with CNN, he says he has an "approximate location" and will begin the hunt soon.

When asked why he is conducting such a search, Mr. Warren replied, "...because we are patriotic Americans and feel that President Obama failed to provide the proof."
