Outline

In Kevin’s workshop, Brian Abbott shows the team the mosaic that he created from the scans of the lake bottom.

Brad and Kevin travel to the house that was identified as possibly having a tunnel under it, discovering that it was once the home of Thomas Hume, Charles Hackley’s partner.

In the basement they find evidence that there may be a tunnel behind a wall. Next day, Kevin and Al travel to Lansing to meet with state officials in an attempt to obtain a permit to dig at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Meanwhile Brad, Jeff and Fred are at the Grand Rapids Public Library looking for information linking participants in the gold theft and laundering.

Later, Kevin and the team meet at a restaurant to discuss the day. The team then assembles at the Hume house so that they can scan the area with ground penetrating radar (GPR) to locate a possible tunnel. While the GPR scan is underway Kevin, Brad and Al investigate the basement.

They find evidence of a tunnel behind a suspicious part of a brick wall. The GPR operator finds evidence of a collapsed tunnel that extends across the road towards the Hackley house.
