LAKE OCONEE — The search for Gary Jones, a track and field coach at Westminster Schools, concluded on Sunday when his body was recovered from Lake Oconee. Jones, 50, was found approximately 100 yards from where his fiancée, Joycelyn Wilson, a Spelman College instructor, was discovered a month prior. The couple went missing after launching a boat on February 8, and despite extensive search efforts, challenging conditions had delayed the recovery until now.
