Bruce, I certainly can understand someone making a connection between a barrel used in a crime and a missing person named Crater.

My first thought was Judge Crater, although I Googled his disappearance and the timing was off. He disappeared in 1930, and Hoover Dam wasn’t finished until 1935. Hope all is well! Regards.
