How Human Remains Found in Georgia Pond May Link to 44-Year-Old Case
Answers 40 years in the making might be just around the corner.
Police in Glynn County, Georgia, shared they’ve recovered human remains in a submerged vehicle that could be linked to a missing persons case from 1980 involving a couple, Catherine Romer and Charles Romer, who disappeared in Georgia on their way home to New York from Florida.
“The vehicle, a Lincoln Continental, was found by the Sunshine State Sonar Team from Florida,” the department wrote on its Facebook page Nov. 23. “The vehicle is similar to the description of a vehicle that Charles and Catherine Romer were believed to be driving when reported missing in April, 1980. Investigators—with the assistance of the Camden County Dive Team—found one human bone in the vehicle and the pond is being drained to see if there are additional remains.”
The department noted that at this time, there is no conclusion made to the identity of the remains.
Sunshine State Sonar, the company identified by police as having discovered the car, also shared information regarding the recovery, writing that its efforts “led to the discovery of a submerged vehicle containing two sets of skeletal remains.”
