Georgia investigators say two men were shot and dumped in a lake after deputies found two bodies near the same bridge within 24 hours of one another this week.
The Troup County Sheriff’s Office said investigators believe both Travis Michael Lodato, 31, and Marcus Lee Caswell, 46, were dumped in West Point Lake "in an attempt to hide or dispose of the bodies" after they were killed.
Investigators said they first recovered Caswell’s body on Monday.
