According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Washington State, a car sinking into a pond in a residential area called Grand Isles in Wellington, Palm Beach County, Florida, was discovered on August 28, 2019 at 18:38 Around. When the police arrived at the scene and confirmed, it seemed that the car had been calcified on the outside and had been submerged in the water for quite a long time. And when I pulled up the car, a dead body was found from inside.

This is a picture of the car that was pulled up.

The body was from WIlliam Earl Moldt (40 years old at the time of disappearance), who lives in Lantana, Florida, who was believed to have disappeared on November 7, 1997. He disappeared after calling his lover “I want to go home” and has been treated as a missing person for 22 years.

In discovering Moldts, technologies that were not available at the time of disappearance played a major role. The cause was that a woman who lived near the place where the car was sinking called from Motoo, 'If you were watching Google Earth, you found the car sinking.' After the phone call, a woman who received a Google Earth screenshot contacted her neighbor Barry Fay, 'This looks like a car?'

Fay, who was driving, went home to see the pond at the back of the house, but could not visually check the car. So I asked a friend to fly the drone and checked the video taken from above the pond. Mr. Fay immediately reported to the police because he knew the car was sinking.

Fay, who had been living in Palm Beach County for a year and two months, spent some time walking around and planting pineapples, but never noticed the existence of a car. A nearby aunt has also never heard of a car that was sinking, and the previous landlord told him she didn't know about it. When the car was lifted, Fay just thought that the broken old car was sinking, and he didn't think there was any body left in the car.

According to The Charley Project , an online database of cold cases (unresolved cases) , Moldt's car was confirmed to be reflected in Google Earth satellite photos after 2007, but it will be 2019. Until no one noticed.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's office told BBC that Moldt's car fell into the pond because of loss of control, but the investigation conducted at the time of disappearance did not provide clues. After that, he expressed his view that the car could now be found in satellite photos due to changes in the water level.
