Charles and Catherine Romer vanished in 1980 while returning home from Miami Beach. Their car and remains were found submerged in a pond by volunteer divers, solving a cold case after 44 years.
A wealthy New York couple vanished without a trace in Georgia 44 years ago, but it appears it took a pair of volunteer divers just seven minutes to discover what are likely their car and remains submerged in a murky pond near a hotel they had been staying in. Retired oil executive Charles Romer, 73, and his wife Catherine, 75, disappeared with their 1978 Lincoln in the spring of 1980.
Sullivan is convinced the remains are those of the couple and believes that they may have inadvertently reversed into the pond while trying to park and drowned in a tragic accident. Sullivan says that the couple’s Lincoln was custom-made and the back seat of the car they discovered had their initials 'C.R.R' embroidered. The Romer’s checked into the Holiday Inn along Interstate 95 and U.S. 341 just before 4 p.m. on April 8, 1980, and took their belongings to their room. At around 5 p.m.
