Yeah, an epic wall of mud. I read a report that said the volume of the slide contained three times the material of Hoover Dam, just to give an idea of the monumental scale of the disaster.
Three times Hoover Dam? That's a big dam, so that's a mind boggling amount of mud to search through. I presume that it would be very, very difficult to recover all the bodies in such a massive amount of material. A 9/11 Ground Zero-type response could do it, but I don't think those kinds of resources are available here.
I wonder--somewhere down the line, does a developer eventually grade the area and then build more housing on top of it??? It wouldn't surprise me, unfortunately.
