On November 2, 2007, 18-year-old Justin Gaines walked out of a popular club in Duluth, Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta.

In the early morning hours, he was spotted climbing into a car with a young woman and was never seen again.

Despite dozens of volunteers searching, flyers hanging on local businesses,

explain his disappearance, and the case eventually went cold.

Eight years later, that would all change.

A new lead gave investigators insight into what happened to Justin that night,

and this story would take a sinister turn.

At some point, there's a tussle, and he chokes him out, and they thought that they had killed him.

Investigators in Gwinnett County are working to identify human skeletal remains found into

The disappearance of Justin Gaines takes a gruesome turn as law enforcement sources reveal

A detailed confession alleged that Justin Gaines was robbed and murdered and that his body was dumped in nearby Lake Lanier.
