Deep Dive
Shownotes Transcript
Hi, CounterClock listeners. My investigation into Doug Wag Jr.'s death and many other elements from Season 6 have us all wanting more answers, I know. And I'm currently reviewing and sorting through all of your burning questions from the season. I'm super excited to share a bonus episode with you coming soon to discuss your questions and share more about what I've learned. But in the meantime, I know you love a good deep dive investigation, and there is one unfolding now that I want to share with you while you wait.
The case is the disappearance of 18-year-old Justin Gaines from a nightclub on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia. When he was ready to head out, Justin made dozens of phone calls to friends looking for a ride, but no one was able to pick him up. And a witness saw Justin for the last time getting into a black vehicle with a blonde woman he didn't appear to know.
In Drowning Creek, a new podcast from Waveland, host Sean Kipe investigates the several stories that circulated in the community and online around Justin being murdered, and connects with many of the numerous names that have popped up in association with Justin's disappearance. But despite the large number of people involved and the multiple potential witnesses, no one has ever been convicted in association with this case. To truly get answers around what happened to Justin, people will need to talk,
But Sean has discovered that fear can be a powerful silencer in this story. This case is more twisted, the answers lie deeper, and the investigation is more dangerous than any other case Sean has taken on to date.
Every road in this case leads to more questions, and I know that you counter-clock listeners understand well that in a case like this, you have to keep pushing, and that's exactly what Sean is doing. There's still hope of finding answers, and the investigation is still ongoing, and you're not going to want to miss what he's uncovered, including never-before-publicly-released tips and even an interview with a prime person of interest.
So stick around to hear the trailer for Drowning Creek now, and then follow Drowning Creek wherever you listen to podcasts. Over 1,400 people go missing in America every single day. Nearly 20% of them are never seen again. Saturday morning, he's not home. He's not answering his phone. He's going straight to voicemail.
Something's wrong. 18-year-old Justin Gaines, a college student, missing now three weeks. For almost eight years now. 15 years ago in Gwinnett County. The disappearance of Justin Gaines began 16 long years of pain and heartbreak for a family desperate for answers. I want my baby to walk in the door and give me a hug. I want to look in his blue eyes again. And a frustration for investigators who can't let it go. You just pulled the scab off the wound.
The part that's puzzling you about wine is the part that's kicked me in the gut every day for several years. But my investigation has uncovered a much darker story than I ever imagined.
They said that he had really changed, that he had befriended some people that were into drugs. Shocking revelations reveal a secret life. He wasn't the same person that I knew. He just didn't feel like Justin. And lead me into an underworld of drugs, money, and murder.
My name is Sean Kipe. In the most complex case I've ever taken on, I'll attempt to pick apart nearly two decades of mystery to find the truth.
But that all relies on the willingness of witnesses to come forward. I've seen the worst of the worst right after buddies if they think it's going to save them. But not here, nobody's saying a word. To me, there's no such thing as a conspiracy that can't be broken. For the first time, law enforcement has opened their files to me on an open case that's anything but cold. And I'll confront the main suspect this entire case revolves around. They didn't want
Dylan said he killed Justin. He took that earring out of Justin's ear the night that he was killed. The problem with this case is not just that we don't have a body. We don't have any physical evidence of death. In this investigation, the stakes are real, and so is the risk. My only word to you is to do it in broad daylight and be very, very careful.
They've killed one. You know, like the old folks say, when you ask them, does that dog bite? They say, you got teeth, ain't it? This is Drowning Creek, a 10-episode podcast series. When you hear everything that really happened, it's going to blow your mind. How willing are you to dive into these waters? Coming soon, wherever you listen to podcasts.
