But did he find the stolen pair on Expedition Unknown?
Near the end of that program, they 'found' exactly what was described in 2 cases (that the shoes were put into a 'paint can', filled with rocks, and thrown into some water pit).
BUT, the first was a different water pit, and nothing was found.. the second, given by a CI that happened to be in jail, gave the same info in a different pit, which they called lakes >.< ..
They found a paint can in the second pit.. filled with rocks (and white paint).. it fit too much to the story, so I am wondering if that was staged for the program :p
The last part, the one with the email, seemed real enough.. that is why I posted this question..
