A drone hovering above the treetops at Davy Crockett National Forest recently spotted something at the bottom of a pond – putting Texas police on the trail of a crime nearly three decades old.

The boxy shape is hard to see, resting in the green murk of Rock Hole pond, photos shared Oct 19 by Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace show. Still, it was enough to make investigators head “deep” into the forest to reach the algae-slick pond.
