Friends Vanished on a Lake Trip — 5 Years Later a Drone Makes A Chilling Discovery… In the summer of 2017, eight college friends rented a boat for a weekend at Cedar Lake. They took selfies on the dock, loaded coolers with ice and beer, and promised their families they'd be back by Sunday night. None of them ever came home. The boat vanished without a trace — no wreckage, no distress calls, no oil slicks on the water. For five years, their families searched every inlet, every cove, every hidden corner of the 12-mile lake. Then in 2022, a drone hobbyist flying over a restricted marsh area captured something that made his blood run cold — dozens of boats, maybe hundreds, scattered across a hidden graveyard like white bones against dark water. What was found hidden inside their boat would prove the eight friends hadn't just drowned, they'd been murdered to keep a secret that was worth millions.
