The body of an Atlanta teacher and coach who vanished last month while boating on Georgia's Lake Oconee has been recovered from waters not far from where his fiancée was found dead shortly after their outing, a sheriff told news outlets Sunday.
Sheriff Howard Sills of Putnam County told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Gary Jones' body was found on Sunday afternoon in about 45 feet of water on the popular tourist lake southeast of Atlanta.
The discovery was made not far from where the body of Jones' fiancée, Spelman College instructor Joycelyn Wilson, was found a day after the two went missing on Feb. 8, the newspaper reported. It comes a month to the day that Wilson's body was recovered in the vicinity of where Jones' empty two-seater fishing boat and his sneakers were found floating.
