    Erin Foster, 18, and Jeremy Bechtel, 17, disappeared in April of 2000 in Sparta, Tennessee.

    21 years later, a scuba-diving, cold-case-cracking YouTuber seems to have located the car that they likely drowned in.

    The case had remained unsolved for all those years, with some divers having gone down into the murky waters of the specific local river where the teens were suspected of being.

    Sheriff Steve Page mentioned that those divers must have been “less than an eighth of a mile from where the car was found,” adding that “they just never got anywhere around the car.”

    Rather, it was citizen investigator Jeremy Beau Sides with his sonar technology and scuba dives that found the car.

    Sides is known for his YouTube channel Exploring With Nug where he tries to solve missing persons cases.

    The Foster family apparently alerted Sheriff Page on November 28 to the news that Sides would be going down into the Calfkiller River to find the missing teens.

    Can we just take a brief moment to contemplate the creepy name of that river?

    Moving on with NBC News:

    Page contacted Sides and told him to search around Highway 84 in the Calfkiller River, in the area where the pair went missing, the release said.

    On Nov. 30, Sides searched in that area and discovered a vehicle: Foster’s rusted Pontiac Grand Am submerged in the river.

    Page and investigators arrived on the scene and said the vehicle matched that of Foster, the sheriff said in a news release.

    Human remains were found in the car, too, which are being sent for genetic DNA testing and potential comparisons with dental records.

    What’s more, a further search of the river will be conducted again, with divers coming in from other counties to help:

    “We’re not sure yet that we have the correct teenagers, but we believe it is,” he told NBC News, noting the remains are pending medical examiner identification.

    Page said it initially appears that the teenagers ended up in the water by accident [there were no guardrails on the road back in 2000], but the investigation is ongoing.

    Sides mentioned that he couldn’t believe he managed to find the car after all those years of them “sitting there waiting for someone to find them”.

    The families were notified of the discovery, with Page concluding that it felt so good “to be able to bring closure to these families”.

    You can watch the discovery from start to finish with Sides:
