Justin Gaines was 18 and a college freshman when he vanished in the early morning hours of November 2, 2007, after a night at Wild Bill’s, a large nightclub in Duluth, Georgia. He was captured on surveillance at the club about 1:30 a.m., wore a gray Abercrombie long-sleeved shirt and ripped blue jeans, and was known to wear a diamond stud earring. Without his car or wallet, he made calls to friends trying to get a ride to Snellville; his cell phone was last used shortly before 2:00 a.m. near the club and then went silent. He was not reported missing for three days, which delayed the initial investigation amid roughly 3,000 patrons that night and limited concrete leads.

Early statements from some associates were reportedly uncooperative, though police did not immediately suspect friends. Foul play became the focus when tips suggested he may have accepted a ride with the wrong person. In 2011 a man named Dustin Dylan Glass implicated himself and Martin Leonard Wilkie in Gaines’s death and led investigators to a well; searches produced nothing and Glass’s mother was later charged with making false statements while Wilkie faced, and later had dropped, charges of concealing a death.
