NEWNAN, Ga. — It's been more than 12 years since 17-year-old Blake Chappell vanished after the East Coweta High School homecoming dance, only to be found dead in a creek months later. The still unsolved case continues to baffle investigators.
Chappell vanished in October 2011. Authorities found his body two months later, but to this day, his killer has never been caught.
But on Friday, new developments surfaced in the cold case for Chappell. Newnan Police Department said there is new evidence in the case.
This week, police said they served three search warrants in the Sharpsburg area. Detectives collected new evidence, which is now in the hands of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for further testing and analysis.
Police have still not made any arrests in the case and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
