Car Found in Georgia Pond May Solve 44-Year Mystery of Missing New York Couple

A submerged vehicle matching the description of Charles and Catherine Romer's car was discovered near their last known location, with human remains inside.

The 1979 Lincoln Continental was found in a pond near Brunswick, Georgia, close to the hotel where the Romers were last seen in April 1980.
Human remains, including one bone, were recovered from the vehicle, but identification is still pending further investigation.
The Sunshine State Sonar Team, a nonprofit specializing in underwater searches, located the car using sonar technology, prompting authorities to drain the pond for additional evidence.
The Romers, a wealthy retired couple from Scarsdale, New York, disappeared while driving home from Florida, sparking decades of speculation about foul play or an accident.
Family members expressed hope for closure, as investigators continue efforts to confirm the remains and unravel the circumstances of the couple's disappearance.
