Amanda Knittweis Prendergast was taking her boat out at 3 Forks Marsh, Thomas O. Lawton Recreation Area, when she says that upon leaving the dock, her boat motor struck something metal-like in the water really hard, causing the engine to stop.
Initially she believed it was a submerged boat after poking around in the water with a stick. She called the Sheriff’s office to come out and identify the boat in order to find the owner for damages.
That’s when they found it that it was actually a sunken car with a body inside of it.
