Midnight Plunge

There is no way they just drove into that water, thought Corion Evans. The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area underneath a Moss Point, Mississippi, highway in July when a sedan with three teenage girls inside propelled off a boat ramp and into the Pascagoula River. It came to rest some 20 feet from land, then sank.

The driver, Evans would learn, had blindly followed erroneous directions from her GPS.

It was around 2:30 a.m. by the time Evans and brothers Karon and Caleb Bradley got to the river's edge. In the darkness, they could barely make out the girls clinging to the roof, the only part of the car still, barely, above water. But they could hear screaming.
