More Details On Joycelyn Wilson & Gary Jones’ Boating Trip On Lake Oconee
According to Carter, Wilson and Jones traveled to Lake Oconee to celebrate Jones’ 50th birthday. To date, authorities are wondering what happened to the couple. Additionally, their questions have been left unanswered due to the lake’s murky, debris-filled water, combined with its freezing temperatures. This has reportedly prevented cadaver dogs from picking up the scent of a human body.
Nonetheless, authorities have obtained surveillance footage showing the couple putting the boat into the water around 3:30 p.m. on February 8. Per Carter, the timing of the couple’s extradition appears unusual as the sun was set to go down around 6:12 p.m.
Around 5:30 that day, the couple’s boat was discovered idling, running in a circle.
