Wangsgard and a team of Weber CSI agents scoured the area of the crash over the weekend, some even coming to help on their day off, but to no avail. The team even used a special blue light that reflects especially brightly off of diamonds, but were unable to recover the jewel. But the failure “wasn’t because they didn’t give it their all,” the Weber County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post.
