The Jeep Compass that Devin Jeter rented near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport on November 7, 2024, has been found in the Ocmulgee River. Jeter’s body was found deceased in the river last week near Lumber City.

According to a press release from the GBI, on November 19, 2024, at about 9:45 a.m., the Georgia State Patrol dive team located the Compass. The Jeep was recovered from the Ocmulgee River, near where Jeter’s body was discovered. Investigators found no visible damage on the Jeep.

The GBI is still seeking the public’s help to gather any information that could assist in this case. On November 11, 2024, at about 12:55 p.m., a local fisherman discovered a body at a boat landing along the Ocmulgee River. Responding to the discovery, Telfair County Sheriff Sim Davidson requested GBI assistance in the investigation. The deceased was soon identified as Jeter, who had been reported missing by his family to the Atlanta Police Department three days earlier on November 8. He was reportedly headed to Jacksonville, FL, where he was stationed in the U.S. Navy. When Jeter didn’t show up for work the next day, his co-workers alerted his family, prompting them to report him missing.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the GBI regional investigative office in Eastman at 478-374-6988, or share tips anonymously via the GBI’s tip line at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477), online at GBI’s tip submission page, or through the “See Something, Send Something” mobile app.
