Episode notes
Disappearance During Duck Hunt
- Jerry Michael "Mike" Williams went duck hunting and never returned, launching an extensive search of Lake Seminole.
- His boat and truck were found but no body, and searchers initially treated it as an accident.
Alligator Theory Filled A Void
- Investigators and locals assumed alligator activity explained the missing body because the lake hosted many drownings.
- Mike became the 80th drowning victim and the only body never recovered, which raised suspicions.
Mother's Persistent Doubts
- Mike's mother Cheryl pursued the case, noting cold temperatures made alligator theory unlikely.
- She commissioned an alligator expert who concluded scavenging and complete disappearance was virtually impossible.
