Last Pictures Taken: Tsunami victims to Marilyn Monroe
November 21, 2008 by Brian James
On January 13, 2005 the bodies of Canadian couple John and Jackie Knill were discovered on a Thailand beach resort. They were two of the many victims killed from the December 26 2004 tsunami. Weeks later a Seattle man doing relief work found a damaged camera and discarded it but kept the memory card in the camera. After downloading the images he discovered pictures of the Knill’s enjoying their vacation, as well as shots of a huge wave approaching the shore. With each picture it shows the wave getting closer and closer to shore. The last picture taken of them before the wave hit (shown above) was shot just after 8.30 am on December 26.
The man who recovered the images recognized the couple from a missing person’s web site. After contacting their sons, the man drove from Seattle to Vancouver to give them their parent’s last images.
