Was the old man Crabtree's uncle? I'll tell yall a true story. Bout 20 or maybe even 30yrs ago there were two men in their mid 20s, childhood friends that went duck hunting on I believe it was Seminole, or may have been Miccosukee, over near Tallahassee. Real foggy and they supposedly got seperated. Once the fog burned off Hunter #1 made his way back to the launch. Hunter #2 never showed and was reported missing. Massive massive search. HIs boat was found but no Hunter #2. Search continues, couple weeks later search is still on-going and hunter #2's boonie hat was found in an area almost a mile from where the boat was found. Search eventually called off. No body, no nothing for over a year. Widow of Hunter #2 files for death certificate and claims insurance money on Hunter 2's death. GW and investigating officer cannot believe no body ever found. Relatively shallow water 6-10ft across whole area where they were. Investigator has a hunch and waits a couple years and starts surveilence on Widow and Hunter #1. Low and behold, they are now a couple. Long story short. Once investigation was complete and the truth came out: Hunter #1 was banging Hunter #2's wife 4-5 times a week. Started 2-3 years earlier with a long running threesome between Hunter 1, his wife and Hunter 2's wife that started on a trip to PCB. Hunter 1 decided he liked Hunter 2s wife way better than his own, so Hunter 2 had to go. They met up at the lake, loaded both boats and went out. Hunter 2 got in the boat with Hunter 1 to set decoys. Hunter 1 positioned the boat in 8-10 ft of water and once Hunter 2 had his waders on, he pushed him in, thinking he'd drown. He managed to fight his way free from the waders and surfaced trying to get back into the boat, leaving Hunter 1 with no choice but to shoot his friend in the face. Drug the body with a rope back to the secluded launch, loaded him up in bed of truck and hid the body about 20 miles away in a field. Scorned wife of Hunter 1 was the key. She turned on both Hunter 1 and the widow once she was pushed out of the group thing and told it all. Same age, at the time this occured, as these guys that are involved here. Moral of story is that things didnt always happen as reported by lone witnesses. Maybe it was just a demented old man but like I said, something just doesnt smell right bout the whole story and the way it all supposedly went down. Especially now that there are others in the town saying the lone survivor of the incident is lying. Might not ever know the truth.
