These three teens were recovered from a lake about 5 years ago. I looked over the locates forum and noticed they didn’t have a threa here so I created this one. Feel free to discuss any info you have.

Interesting. Two separate cars six people. Missing a year apart.
Families give more details that might reveal the cold cases in Foss Lake

 

[Mysteries1974]

I’ve come to suspect foul play in both of the cases.
