Remains of missing couple found 44 years later
US police believe they have located the remains of Charles and Catherine Romer, a couple who went missing more than four decades ago.
Human remains were found submerged in a Georgia pond, inside a Lincoln Continental, a vehicle similar to the one that belonged to the New York couple who disappeared in 1980.
“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,” police said.
A human bone was found in the submerged vehicle that was located in a pond between the Royal Inn Hotel and Interstate 95, police said.
The car was found by a sonar team from Florida, and is being drained to determine if there are additional remains.
The Glynn County Police department is collaborating with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Retired oil executive Charles Romer, 73, and his wife Catherine, 75, vanished while travelling home from Miami Beach, Florida in 1980.
At the time, police expressed concerns about potential foul play as Catherine was wearing about $81,000 worth of jewellery.
