TRIAL OF CHAD DAYBELL CHARGED WITH MURDER OF JJ VALLOW, TYLEE RYAN AND TAMMY DAYBELL #4- Latest: Caylee Advocate
That's what I was thinking.
Is there any evidence that the Prelude mentioned is missing? Her husband indicated he drove himself home after letting his wife out of the car.

It doesn't seem to have been missing the next morning, but after that, who knows?

She looks like the most likely possibility so far.

Remains found Friday in submerged car are a turtle, not human
West Palm Beach police gave a surprising update Tuesday about remains found inside a car that had been submerged in a lake for decades.

Investigators said the remains aren’t human, as many suspected.
Instead, an anthropologist has identified them as turtle remains.

Oh wow... What a twist, and one I'm very glad for, now that we know nobody died. I wonder why the car was there, and if it related to foul play, but I doubt it.Remains found Friday in submerged car are a turtle, not human

Ummm...how does one confuse turtle remains for human remains?
The car being submerged underwater still implies the high probability of human remains having been there at one point. Researching the car and its ownership could still solve a MP case.

Depending on what kind of turtle it was, the remains could have been roughly human-sized. I used to live in Ormond Beach, Florida, where there was an old WWII lookout tower on the beach with a famous story of a night sentry who thought he was firing on a foreign operative sneaking onto the beach at night from a submarine. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that he'd actually shot and killed a leatherback turtle (poor thing).
I could definitely see a diver underwater, peering into a wrecked car and seeing a dead turtle and mistaking it for a human, considering the physical changes a human body would go through in those same conditions. You definitely wouldn't be expecting a turtle inside a car, I'm sure.

Regardless it's still sad that a living being died.

That is very true. I hope that the turtle at least died peacefully. I don't know much about that kind of thing to know though.

One of the articles mentioned that there was a lot of adipocere (grave wax) over part of the body, so that may have obscured identifying features. The flippers look a lot like hands.

I'm local to this. I would guess the car went into the lake off Village Blvd. Maybe a joyride type thing.

Or deliberately ditching a stolen car, or one used in a crime? That happens a lot in my area.
