      Oh so very, very many…I can note perhaps 10 (at the very least!) that I’ve heard in the last decade alone due to dedicated, often amateur search teams using sonar equipment etc. I was going to mention by name the discovery of Navy vet Donnie Erwin, who went missing in 2013 & was found by James Hinkle in December 2023, and in Googling to check I relay the details right, I found a case from just this month-thankfully not left a mystery for over a decade, but Jason Neumann is also a vet who went missing on November 18, with him being found inside his vehicle submerged in Lake Michigan on the 23rd. Another that will always stick out to me is William Moldt, last seen in 1997, who was recovered from a pond in Florida in 2019 after a resident saw his car submerged via Google Maps so flew his drone over to confirm.
      Adventures With Purpose was a good channel to watch concerning these sorts of cold case recovery missions, but unfortunately the co-founder of the company isn’t a very nice person in reality & committed actual crimes of his own. However I’m content from former employee Josh Cantu, who is very passionate about resuming & documenting the good work once AWP stops trying to seek “revenge” via lawsuit (very long story if you’re unfamiliar lol, but excited to see more work from former employees like Josh & Doug once all the unnecessary legal hoopla ceases!)

    I don't know...I'm not normally a jump to conclusions, arm chair detective, suspicious for no reason type, but something about this just doesn't sound right. I guess if we knew what the area surrounding the hotel and pond looked like in 1980 it might be easier to buy that the old guy simply just accidentally drove them into it, but still...where's the jewelry? Have they been able to recover that, as well? If not, I might not want to consider this an entirely open and shut case (only 44 years after the fact).
    That said, I'm glad their family at least knows what became of them and can bury them properly now.

      Not necessarily. If they were murdered, the people of interest are often those with the most to gain. What better place than away from home? The wealthy snowbirds I knew used the same route, stayed at the same hotels for years. Even though it was before cell phones, their families knew where they were going to be staying while traveling.
      One couple from NYC had their winter home in Southern Florida, a condo in coastal NC that was their spring/summer home and maintained their NYC apartment to be with family and friends for the holidays. They routinely drove between locations and were in their late 70’s. They were an interesting couple!
