The Romer Mystery: A Car Submerged for Decades
In 1980, Charles and Catherine Romer vanished without a trace during a trip from their home in Scarsdale, New York, to Florida. For over four decades, their disappearance remained an enigma. The breakthrough came in 2024 when divers, conducting a routine training exercise in a Georgia pond, stumbled upon a submerged vehicle. Upon retrieval, the car was identified as the Romers' 1979 Lincoln Continental. Human remains found inside were confirmed to be those of the missing couple. Investigators concluded that the Romers had likely taken a wrong turn, leading their vehicle into the pond—a tragic accident that went unnoticed for years.
