We now know more about a bizarre discovery made at the bottom of Big Creek Lake. We told you Tuesday about a plane that was found in the lake. Now, the Mobile County Sheriff's Office believes the plane belonged to Richard Doug Flint. A sheriff's office spokesperson says the department believes Flint's plant went down in 1982 and his body was discovered days later. We talked with one man who says the news gives him the closure he's been wanting for decades. For nearly 30 years, Bill Lanier wondered what happened to his friend and former flight instructor, Doug Flint, "the only thing I had heard is that his plane went down in Big Creek Lake, and there was, that he had drown or the moccasins got to him and killed him or what. Somebody had told me a fisherman found him laying on a bank a week later after they gave up search on, you know, looking for the plane," said Lanier. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office says they're working with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board on the case. The plane hasn't been removed from the lake yet.
