... that Michael Williams' apparent disappearance 15 years ago today is the only time the body of someone believed to have drowned in
Lake Seminole has not been found?
ALT1:... that searchers believed Michael Williams' body had been eaten by
alligators in
Lake Seminole after he disappeared 15 years ago today—until they learned alligators don't feed in winter?
Comment: As should be clear from the hooks, I have submitted this for the event's 15-year anniversary, on December 16.

New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. I have one question about the referencing: 9 out of 12 sources are from the local paper, the Tallahassee Democrat. Do missing persons cases have to have wider coverage to meet
notability? Regarding the hooks, I struck ALT2 as the least interesting; the others are all verified and cited inline. My preference is for ALT1. QPQ done.

@
Yoninah: I did sort of anticipate this issue. would suggest that the fact that the case has been the subject of an episode of Disappeared, a TV show on the
Investigation Discovery network, which gets nationwide distribution, as well as later being made available
on DVD and streaming media, constitutes that wider coverage.

OK. Again, my preference is for ALT1. Good to go.
