Alana "Laney" Gwinner, 23, disappeared after bowling with friends in December 1997. Investigators say, Laney walked outside to her parked Honda Del Sol around 1 a.m. and was never seen alive again.
Laney was found deceased and floating in the river 65 miles down river from the Bowling Alley.

Since the beginning of the investigation, detectives have said that the missing car is a critical piece of evidence.
In this episode of Adventures With Purpose, we meet up with Forensic Science teacher Randy Hubbard and former student Evan Fletcher who have been have been staying working the case to piece together timelines and talk to investigators about what happened to Gwinner the day she disappeared in December 1997.
Laney had finished her finals. She was out with a friend. They were playing pool, and she was leaving to go to her boyfriend’s house, but she never made it there that night in 1997.
When Gwinner did not show up for work the next day, her family and friends were alarmed and alerted authorities. They spent weeks searching for Gwinner.
Gwinner and friends met up about 10 p.m. at a bowling alley in nearby Fairfield, Ohio. After midnight, Gwinner left to drive to her boyfriend's house, about 2 miles up the road.
She never made it.
Her boyfriend and relatives soon went to the bowling alley to look for Gwinner but did not find her or her car, a black 1993 Honda Civic CRX Del Sol.
When she did not show up for work the next morning, police were called and Gwinner was reported missing. Her car was put in the national databank for critical missing vehicles.
Police interviewed hundreds of people and administered about 100 lie detector tests to friends and others who knew her, including Gwinner's boyfriend.
Everyone passed, and no viable leads were uncovered.
A month later, the case was blown wide open.
In Covington, Kentucky, outside Cincinnati, a police officer was involved in a scuffle while trying to make an unrelated arrest on a bridge over the Ohio River.
The officer fell and passed away in the icy waters below.
During the search for him, someone saw something floating on the water near Warsaw, Kentucky, about 65 miles from the bowling alley.
It was Gwinner's body, fully clothed and in good condition.
Her passing was ruled a homicide.
The car with Ohio license plate AKP-3607 has never been found.
Although more than two decades have passed, Gwinner’s family members and friends have not forgotten her and never will.

I was at the beach on spring break years ago (long time ago lol) and some kids were sitting at a stop sign. A car or truck coming down the highway runs off the road and t-bones them. When the cops got there only one truck was there. The wreck was so horrific the law thought for sure the other car would be around the corner. Nope! So someone got away with 2 high school kids lives right there. Iv often wondered if I knew or ever crossed paths with the people responsible.

I spent 13 years as a Honda Automotive Parts Manager from the late 80's into the early 2000's. Personally I think someone probably took the car and parted it out. Back in the 90"s Civic platform shined just a bit brighter than any of its counterparts from other marques, and it remains popular among many today. My son and I owned 13 Crx's and currently he owns a 1996 Civic Hatchback and a S2000. The Del Sol line replaced the Crx lineup with Honda and were highly sought after in the 90"s.

[@turn6garage640]

I agree, I think the demand for parts, specifically for Del Sol specific bodywork, targa roof and trim in late 1997 after the car just went out of production would have meant there was incentive to part the car out. They could even have chopped the VIN out and re-registered it as another Del Sol in another state. I am not sure if that avenue was ever checked from the information in this investigation, it doesn't look like these possibilities have been considered. If the car was taken somewhere and turned around within a matter of hours either parted or with the identity of another CRX, it might explain why there was no trail on the car.

[@bobbykoenning5566]

@@turn6garage640 Exactly! There is a lot of Honda's during that time period that are now register with rebuilt titles. I recently looked into purchasing a clean Honda Crx. 9 out of 10 I looked at did not have a clean title. I'm thinking she walked out into that parking lot and was killed for her car after refusing to give it up.

[@turn6garage640]

@@bobbykoenning5566 That's what I have been thinking as well. If the pictures provided of Alana's Del Sol are what it looked like when she disappeared, a straight and clean 1993 Del Sol, someone would have easily been able to sell it off, especially if they had a ready buyer. If this was the case, whoever did this was a professional thief and it's likely there was more than one person involved with the car reaching its destination before daybreak after they dumped Alana in the river. They should release the VIN, build date and specification of Alana's car and see if any trace of it still exists in another car. It might be worth checking records of Del Sols that were re-registered in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and possibly even Tennessee between December 1997 and April 1998 to see if there are any potential cars that might match the description of Alana's Del Sol.

[@azmale18]

I've got a del sol myself and I can say parts are hard to come by and very expensive so it's possible someone parted it out so they could make money

[@thoughtsfromathenasreality]

Right. The killer wouldn't waste that car!

[@TKDiscGolf]

Holy cow Mr Hubbard was my forensic teacher in HS! I had no idea they were working on a case!

[@bobbykoenning5566]

I did a little researching this morning pertaining to when the officer fell into the water. He fell into the Icy Ohio River on January 4th 1998 and wasn't found until May 18, 1998 11 miles down stream. Alana Gwinner was found near Warsaw KY 65 miles from Fairfield, Ohio. In my opinion there is no way her body floated 65 miles down the Great Miami River to the Ohio River in a month. There are way too many sand bars in the Great Miami for her body to wash up on unlike the Ohio River. I say her body and maybe her car was dumped into the Ohio River.

[@gemmamegson8052]

I'm also skeptical that the car was dumped in the river. In the month from her disappearance to finding her body then any car dumped, burnt out or crushed at a junk yard wouldn't have been suspicious

[@rebeccaburns2307]

I wanted to read the comments before I started investigating, but just from this video I can’t see how her body could travel 65 miles from where she was last seen to where her body was found. That’s not to say the car wasn’t dumped in the Miami river, but I don’t believe her body was dumped in the Miami. I’m guessing the investigators do not believe it either.

[@megapint1626]

You are 100% correct, Bobby. I did similar google searches, found the same information, and came to the exact same conclusion as you have.

[@stanyssilva1631]

@@megapint1626 do you think it's worth floating 20 miles? I believe that yes, but the curves that the great miame river makes, it leaves me with my feet behind, even if the body floats in the middle of the river, where the current is even stronger, it would be a little difficult,

Chop shops are around and probably even more now than back in the 90s

[@PhoenixRisen63]

@Jeremy Mitchell ...Chop shops most definitely still exist. Guessing they're looking in the water because they have information that that's where the car ended up. They have said that it's the last missing piece of the puzzle, so the rest of the pieces must point to the river. Unless you know someone who runs a chop shop, though, much easier to drive a car into a river at 1 a.m. than to find a chop shop that wants to accept a murder car from some random person.

We had Forensics in my High School and we used to look into cases like the Sharon Tate murder/Manson family crimes. We learned how to identify the height and direction of blood droplets and how to identify the time of death of a deceased body using Algor/Liver/Rigor mortis. This was 13 years ago that I took the course. Mason High School is amazing for having the Cold Case projects at their school, while teenagers aren’t experts, a teenage mind works differently than an adult and it very well could be that different perception that sees a piece of evidence that was overlooked by the original case detectives.

When the river floods it gets into the quarries easily enough and covers up the road, but I don't know if it flooded in between when she went missing and when she was found.

[@PeaceMeBish]

These things, like most Hondas, rusted like crazy. I assure you that the body and chassis were made of metal. Other parts were made of aluminum and plastic. So yes, a magnet may not stick to the roof for example but it would attach to the body. Very few cars, even newer ones are made largely out of plastic, besides maybe the bumpers. Wouldn’t make them very safe.

Thank you, you guys are awesome! My only question is why do we not have people like these all over the place. Every State should have a team in place to do jobs like these. Until, and if we ever do, You guys are WONDERFUL!👍✌

So weird I was just reading a post on fb about a missing guy in Allegan County Michigan and the notification for this video popped up ..Richard Hitchcock in the comments ppl were mentioning Adventures with a purpose

welcome to google algorithm

[@brandokalashnikov]

I live in Allegan County, i honestly believe he went into the Kalamazoo river, just my belief though

[@kevinhall5766]

The river has a few deep holes but is mostly shallow water and with all the work and high water in the last few yrs surprised ppl have found lots of stuff like that

[@rachaelleann9847]

@@Njgn yup. I swear I can speak about somethin then bam it's everywhere in adds and recommendations.

We have a house on Lake Allegan, have they checked there? There’s some boat ramps that go straight in and the water can reach like 20 feet deep.

Guys just wanted to say massive respect for what you do, and making them into informative, well made videos that are a joy to watch but still respectful to those poor families. Much love from the U.K

[@Bigwangus]

So crazy to know you guys were here searching close to home, I live in Florence Kentucky which is part of the Cincinnati Tristate area and I’m in Warsaw and I also cross the river every single day, being in that river is tough because it’s known to get really really high sometimes and push things more out to shore, but I’ve seen a lot of your guys videos and I love what you guys do!

[@mardicheriex291]

I love watching this channel, I’m in Tasmania Australia, Worked in salvage a few years ago, Good on you, I hope you continue to clear and enjoy doing clearance work, and provide closure for families, love your inflatable thinking seriously of ordering one for adventures, easier than lugging a boat and trailer, surprising how stable it is , yay well done ,

The montage of Jacob trying to make it to the shore had me laughing so hard. 😂😂

Have they checked any of the water around watson gravel for her car? Its not that far from the Great Miami River which connects to the Ohio river, so that area might be worth searching

Lol as I sit here on Christmas morning I'm brought to tears of joy watching how Jacob showed us the inch worm technique on the second location. Too funny. Good luck searching. I hope her car is found soon and the killer is put where he belongs. Love to all and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Stay safe you guys.

[@happyjack880]

Every large body of water has it's own dark secrets, and they don't give them up easily. I can't pass by a river or large lake without wondering what all lies on the muddy bottom. I would imagine that this crew got it's start from the same curiosity. I could watch these all day. Adventures with Purpose is a most appropriate name. You've brought closure to so many people. Keep up the good work that you do and stay safe.

I learned the same thing salvaging ancient ax cut cypress logs from our local river system. Something else that I have learned over time was that the current from the river will also uncover lost logs just as quick as it will cover them back up. So you never know what you might find in an area that you have already scanned, and something new my emerge at any time...

[@MarlboroToke420]

There are times when this river is even lower at times of the year. I'm in Dayton and I have seen it SUPER LOW. I am glad you came in my neck of the woods. Wish I could have met you guys. Amazing thing y'all are doing!

[@mr.rogers5586]

Jacob said he's never heard of a Honda del Sol. Man that makes me feel real old. Boy how time flies.

[@jordiscu]

After hearing everything about this case, I thought, what if the body was dumped in the river and the car was taken apart, like I don't think anyone is looking for the serial numbers of the car pieces, they can be sold on craigslist for a really cheap price and what isn't sold you just throw away in some field, throw some garbage on it and nobody will suspect a thing.

[@kerstas10]

that's my theory. Went to chop shop. del sol manufactured from 92 till 98. What's the point of sinking a few years old (or maybe even new) car?

[@jonesn1981]

Nobody going to take that risk of the car ever being seen agian. I say its at the bottom of the river somewhere or sone buried it

[@PhoenixRisen63]

They dump a newish car in the river rather than get caught or traced back to any part of the car that could put them in prison. They couldn't care less about the car itself, or it's value. I don't believe that a murderer would ever take the chance on dumping it in a field, and any part of that vehicle being found again. Even the engine is stamped with a VIN. If a VIN inspection is done and the VIN numbers don't match on the frame and engine, they most certainly can and will run both VINs to make sure neither comes up as stolen or with any flags.

[@jordiscu]

@@PhoenixRisen63 yeah of course. But what if the killer is a dad of 3 that hasn't eaten in 2 days and will get kicked out if he doesn't pay quickly, he then sees an easy target in a new car and decides that his children are more important than some woman's life. This is a wild shot but it has happened before on multiple occasions

[@PhoenixRisen63]

@@jordiscu ... possible but dubious. That would have been evident during the investigation, and they wouldn't be checking rivers if all that were the case. The police have been quoted as saying "it's the last missing piece of the puzzle".....they have reason to think it's in the water somewhere.
