Aqua Survey of Flemington has once again been called upon to help uncover evidence in a cold case. This time, the company is assisting the producers of a new Discovery Channel show, Killing Fields, which premiered on Jan. 5 and airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
The show looks into various locations around the United States where the bodies of murder victims have been dumped. According to Aqua Survey, the company sent eight people to assist in an investigation as part of the first season, which focuses on a Louisiana murder.
The victim, 34-year-old Louisiana State University graduate student Eugenie Boisfontaine, was found in a the Bayou Manchac in 1997, according to Forbes.

Killing Fields is Discovery Channel's first true crime series filmed in real time as investigators search for clues about the murder. Part of Aqua Survey's role in the series was to perform an electromagnetic survey of the crime scene in the hunt for the murder weapon.
"If serial killers, psychopaths and diving in alligator-infested water weren't enough, while staying at a hotel near a crime scene there was an attempted murder in the room next door to one of our staff," it was stated in a release from Aqua Survey. "We'd like to commend Captain Mark Padover, who when awakened by gunfire, bravely responded to a woman's 2:30 a.m. pained wail for help. Mark may have very well saved her from bleeding to death."
Aqua Survey has been called on the help in a variety of investigations, including assisting the creators of a documentary on the Amityville murders.
