SUSPICIOUS DROWNING -

In October 1933 a Greek man was drowned in Lake Dumbleyung in what some locals suspected to be foul play.

Peter Kosta vanished and besides his neatly folded clothes by the lake and a set of footprints leading to the waters edge, no other sign of him could be found.

Locals had a number of theories about the disappearance but it was not until 1944 that Harry Wann, walking along the dry lake bed, came across human remains. Although it could never be confirmed, it was presumed that the bones belonged to Peter Kosta.
