The Cold, Dark Water | Chapter 6

The podcast episode "Drowning Creek" focuses on a new lead in the Justin Gaines missing person case, specifically a tip about a toolbox containing his body being submerged in a cove at Lake Lanier near the Olympic Park bleachers. Despite skepticism from law enforcement due to numerous past false leads, the podcast team decides to investigate the tip themselves. They consult maps, hire divers with sonar equipment, and conduct a search of the specified cove. Although they identify a potential object of interest, it turns out to be an empty plastic barrel. The team expresses disappointment but also relief at not finding Justin's remains, and they reaffirm their commitment to continuing the search for the truth, buoyed by the gratitude of Justin's mother. The episode concludes with a new lead regarding someone who failed a lie detector test related to the case.
