Georgia's attorney general brought in an engineering firm to conduct an independent investigation into a fatal dock collapse on Georgia's Sapelo Island during a celebration for the historic Gullah-Geechee nation founded by Black descendants of slaves.
Georgia's Department of Natural Resources, which operates the dock, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have already launched a state investigation into last weekend's incident. The state probe will continue as the firm, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates conducts its own.
