Wacka Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Had a couple disappear driving from San Jose to San Francisco on a Friday evening on Route 101 (10 lanes). The whole area is heavily developed. Cops searched for a few days and finally someone spotted a car had run off the road into a very marshy and weedy area. At least 10k cars passed by that spot. They found the couple drowned in the front seat of their submerged car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary M Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So it was because of google maps the car was found. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/09/13/google-earth-helps-solve-missing-florida-man-cold-case-22-years-later/2309070001/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water levels in retention ponds go up and down every year, especially if don't have a liner to prevent draining into the sand below.

Rocket94 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 There was a similar case some years back in Seattle. A woman mysteriously vanished. Her car somehow slid off the Floating bridge and she remained submerged for quite awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
