Ben’s Vortex
The McDaniel family believes Ben’s death was not an accident, but instead the result of foul play. The following year, the owner of Vortex Spring, Lowell Kelly, died under suspicious circumstances. Cadaver dogs and water tests showed no signs that a decomposing human body was in the area. It is believed by the McDaniels that Ben’s disappearance might have been staged as a coverup for his murder.
