A YouTuber who dives is very likely to have solved the mysterious case of the disappearance of two teenagers from Tennessee who went missing 21 years ago.
YouTuber seems to have discovered the car in which the teenagers were last seen at the bottom of a river.
Erin Foster, 18, and Jeremy Bechtel, 17, disappeared on April 3, 2000, after leaving Foster’s home, according to authorities.

Sheriff Steve Page said in a press release that Foster’s family members notified him on November 28 about YouTuber Jeremy Sains, who uses sonar technology and is diving to try to solve missing persons cases on the Exploring With Nug channel.
He went to Tennessee last month to look for the car in which the teens were last seen.
Page contacted Sainz and told him to search around Highway 84 on the Calfkiller River in the area where the couple went missing, the statement said.
On November 30, Saints searched the area and discovered a vehicle: Foster’s rusty Pontiac Grand Am, which had sunk into the river.

Page and investigators arrived at the scene and said the vehicle matched Foster’s, the sheriff said in a press release.
Human remains were also found in the vehicle and will be sent for DNA genetic testing and possible comparisons with dental records, researchers at CBS’s NTV subsidiary WTVF said. The Foster and Bechtel families were notified of the finding.
“I have no words,” Sainz said in his YouTube video. “I’m so happy I was able to find them. I’m so sad they ended up there. I can not believe it – they’ve been sitting there for over 20 years waiting for someone to find them.”
“I commend Jeremy for the car he found. “All I did was point him in the right direction and he went into the water and found them,” Page told NBC News.
Page said the search for the river will continue on Thursday with divers coming from other counties to help. “We are not yet sure we have the teenagers we are looking for, but we believe they are,” he added.
