In June 2007, the body of a toddler from Maine was found at Tinker Dam.
Three-year-old Alexandria Winship-Wright had been missing since April 25.
Investigators believed she fell into the Aroostook River in the backyard of her home in Fairfield.
Her body was discovered when members of a Maine search and rescue team flew over the river taking digital photographs.
The Tinker Dam is a 34-megawatt hydroelectic dam that was built in 1923.
