From what I saw through the Aware Network, they're still waiting on a positive id, but no, not to my knowledge. The family has said something about it, but there's nothing yet on local stations. Edit: Though, and this is just my own humble opinion, the body was found near where the car was so...

Hey, guys, I just read they found him where his cellphone was pinging. I was hoping for a happy ending to this one, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

I believe it was lawsuits, yeah. Or a lawsuit. I know that they used to let divers go in the natural spring there because apparently it's a deep system, but a few never came back out, if you take my meaning, and that one popped (alive!) up in...I think was the Alapaha River? Apparently it...

I know I've seen Five Bridges Road mentioned somewhere but I don't know if that's why or not. However, FBR is actually paved, it runs the back way from Brookfield in Tift County to Ocilla, and there used to be a wildly popular catfish house on it that was only open on the weekends - my mom did...

The Rampage was my first big girl waterslide. I think I was, like, seven, lol. Breaks my heart, though, even though I know the Adcocks will never reopen. So much land just wasting away out there.

With regards to adding clay content...I kind of doubt it? I've seen new roads scraped out and that's pretty much all they do: Scrape them out. And I know while the road I lived on was regularly scraped by the county because it was a residential area (it's actually paved now), out away and on...

It's so sad to see Crystal Lake looking like that. I have a lot of great memories of that place as a kid. I'd say that was actually pretty right. It's always seemed to me that most of the dirt roads (actual roads, not paths that cut through someone's property or whatever) around there...

I'm obviously not Sundrop but I'll throw in my two cents here as a former local. Honestly, I'd say there's actually quite a bit of red clay? It's not everywhere, obviously, but there are plenty of places in the Berrien County and Irwin County areas that seeing it on a car wouldn't be all...

I did see a missing flyer on the door of the Cochran Huddle House last time I was there (which was...Thursday, March 2?). When I go back to class after next week (we're on spring break at the moment and I don't live in Cochran) I can get a picture of it.

I haven't been able to post here in forever, college is eating me alive, but I've been meaning to drop in since I heard there was an arrest. Ocilla and Fitzgerald are probably about 5 minutes apart, if you take the main drag through Ocilla right into Fitzgerald. 25 would get you to the...

Thank you, and np. Crystal Lake was one of those places that, if you weren't in south Georgia or north Florida during the 80s and very early 90s, you probably wouldn't know about it. It was kind of our little weekend day get away and so it kind of sticks in my mind from childhood, along with...

It used to be a summer hangout, kind of a water park, back when I was a kid. But it was shut down years ago and for the most part it's dried up, except for the spring that goes to the underground aquifer. I believe there's a sheriff's deputy that lives on the land in a trailer for free, to...

Thank you! Most that still talk about it think she's in what's left of Crystal Lake. I can understand the logic behind it: It's deep, sometimes divers who go in don't come out, and the underground spring comes out on one of the rivers a good bit away. As for who did it, I've never...

This made me chuckle a bit, as horrible as it may seem. Might be because I'm a Tifton native. There are, seriously, three cabs in Tifton, and none that will travel that far, as it's about a twenty minute drive one way just to Irwin County, not counting Ocilla, which is another ten to fifteen...
