Georgia police say they are hoping for “a miracle” Saturday as they search for two teens feared to be dead after apparently getting swept away yesterday afternoon in an overflowing creek. Fox 5 Atlanta reported that the grandfather of Robert “Bryant” Wade identified him as one of the teens missing. “We can’t put crews in the water because the current is too swift,” Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems told Fox 5 Atlanta. We’re hoping the water will recede if we don’t get any more rain.”Police also said the creek was the site of a Civil War battle. "Barber Creek is the site of a short battle where the Athens Home Guard fought back Stoneman's Raiders during the Civil War," the Oconee County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook.
