Just a little added info about the case.

This happened just a few miles from where I live. Big searches were conducted. No traces were found of the missing 6 people. In order to get back home to Enterprise from Opp where the group had been at a club, they had to cross the Pea River over Ballard's Bridge in a rural area.

IIRC, the river had been initially searched under the bridge and nothing was found.

Inbetween the time the group disappeared and the time they were found, the river had flooded. At the time they were found, the river was at a low level, and not sure, but I believe the car was noticed by fishermen.

There has been speculation that due to Reynolds criminal record that he might have disappeared on purpose, but most believe the car simply ran off the road as the group traveled back to Enterprise and remained undiscovered in the river until it got to a low level where it could be seen.It's possible that Reynolds body left the car and the flood carried it away. One of the victim's watch was stopped about 20 min. past the time the group was last seen at the club and that was about how long it would have taken them to arrive at the bridge.

James Anthony Reynolds – The Charley Project

<<Investigators discovered Stackhouse's vehicle submerged in the Pea River in Coffee County, Alabama on September 29, 1999, more than four months after the group disappeared. The bodies of Reynolds's friends were recovered from the car, but he was not found inside the Caprice.

Authorities continued searching for Reynolds's remains in the river and around the surrounding area, but he has never been located. At the time of his disappearance, he was on probation for cocaine trafficking. He left behind a five-year-old son.

Investigators believe that Stackhouse's vehicle plunged into the water as the result of a single-car accident. Reynolds is officially listed as a missing person.>>
