Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that two bodies were recovered from a vehicle underwater on March 28th when in fact only one body was found and it was not from a vehicle. Secondly, the author states that investigators did not release details about where Suazo-Sandoval's body was recovered in the wreckage but this is false as they confirmed that Maryland State Police's Underwater Recovery Team played a part in the recovery. Lastly, there are no quotes from any sources other than Andrew Adeolu and he has not disclosed his source for some of his information.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the Unified Command and various government agencies without providing any context or explanation of their expertise in this matter. Additionally, the author quotes a family member of one of the missing workers as a source for information about his character, which is not reliable and could be biased. This violates the rule against using direct quotations from people who are not experts on the topic being discussed.

Bias

ABC News has a conflict of interest on the topics of body of construction worker missing after Key Bridge collapse recovered and Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The author is Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval who was an employee at Maryland Department of State Police before being fired for misconduct in relation to the bridge collapses.
Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, a former member of the Unified Command team that oversaw the recovery effort after Key Bridge collapse, has been charged with obstruction and tampering with evidence. He was fired from his job at Maryland Department of State Police in 2019 for misconduct related to the bridge collapses.
Suazo-Sandoval's involvement in the investigation into the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse is also a potential conflict of interest, as he may have access to sensitive information and resources that could compromise his ability to report on it objectively.
