When a Teen Went Diving With His GoPro Camera, He Accidentally Solved a 27-Year-Old Mystery

In August 2019, 13-year-old Max Werenka noticed a mysterious object deep beneath the water at Griffin Lake Cabins, a popular holiday spot in British Columbia, Canada.

Curious about the unknown object in the lake, the teenager dove deep into the murky water with his GoPro and to his surprise, he unraveled a 27-year-old mystery.

He Had a Curious Nature

Thirteen-year-old Max Werenka has always been a curious child. “I always like to question things,” he told CTV News. So, when he realized he had found something in the lake, his curiosity was piqued in ways he never could have imagined.

But was he aware that what he had stumbled upon was a lot more gruesome than he could’ve ever anticipated?

He Found More Than He Bargained For

The young man wasn’t looking to solve a mystery or a potential crime when he went on a boat ride on Griffin Lake, but fate had set him on that path anyway. So, with destiny on his shoulder, he went out to see what was out there, not realizing he was going to find more than he bargained for.

Not an Average Boat Ride

The family spent every summer on their boat at the same lake, so they were extremely familiar with the area. But, they were be shocked one day when they noticed something out of the ordinary in the water that would force them to re-inspect their familiar surroundings.

Something Strange Beneath the Water

Max Werenka regularly carried his GoPro with him when he wandered the popular holiday resort. On this particular day he was chatting to another family staying at the lake when they spotted an unusual shadowy figure under the surface of the water and asked the teenager to take a look with his GoPro.

What he would find would shock them all.
