Charles Romer, 73, and his wife Catherine, 75, vanished in their 1978 Lincoln Continental over four decades ago as they drove home from a trip to Florida.
Human remains have been found 44 years after a couple from New York vanished. A submerged car was discovered in a pond last week along the Interstate 95 in south Georgia, with two sets of skeletal remains said to be inside. Police suspect they could belong to retired oil executive Charles Romer, 73, and his wife Catherine, 75, who vanished in their 1978 Lincoln Continental decades ago. But the Camden County Sheriff's Office stressed tests hadn't confirmed any identities yet.
'We all felt with our experience that these people had been kidnapped and killed for her jewellery, and the vehicle and the bodies were hidden in the water,' rescue diver George Baker, who searched for the car over the years, said in 1998. However, the New York Post reported that, amid the salvage efforts, a Rolex watch, diamond ring and other items of jewellery were found, suggesting the disappearance might have been an accident.
