TROUP COUNTY, GA (WTVM)- The Troup County Sheriff's Office is asking the public's help finding the owner
of a car discovered in West Point Lake Thursday.

The submerged car, a black 1993 Nissan 240sx convertible, was found in an
isolated area near a boat ramp at Whitewater Park, in 15 feet of water. It did
not have a license plate, but a vehicle identification number reveals the car
may have originated from the Decatur, GA area.
