Summary
After an evening of drinking with close friends at Rand Hooper's parents' home, Rand and his best friend, Graham McCormick, took Rand’s boat out for a night drive. This was the last time Graham would be seen alive. The following day, nobody knew where Graham was.
After a search ensued, Graham's body was discovered in Carter Creek, 2 miles from Rand Hooper's parents' home. The medical examiner determined that Graham died from drowning, with blunt-force trauma contributing to his death.
Initially, Rand mentioned nothing about being on a boat with Graham the night before. Instead, he said that he, Graham, and other friends spent the night drinking and playing cards before going to bed.
However, as the investigation revealed more details, including that the boat crashed while Rand was driving, Rand was later charged with felony murder and other serious charges.
