Seventeen Years After Disappearance, Florida Man's Hunting Trip Revealed as Murder

A Florida man's disappearance during a 1997 hunting trip, long suspected to be an alligator attack, was in fact a murder. This stunning conclusion emerged in a courtroom seventeen years after the victim vanished. The case began when the father went hunting on Lake Harney in Central Florida. When he did not return, many assumed local alligators were responsible. However, his mother never believed that theory. New evidence presented in court revealed he was killed. The television program "48 Hours" investigated the cold case, with correspondent Richard Schlesinger reporting on the dramatic courtroom revelations that finally solved the mystery.
