''Sullivan deploys sonar imaging devices to scan through as many water bodies as possible in the search field, which typically encompasses a radius of several miles around the last known location of a missing person.
"Here's the problem with South Florida. There are so many waterways, so many canals — hundreds of them, and it's like finding a needle in a haystack. These waters are just endless," Sullivan says.''

I am glad they're found.
Kudos to Sunshine State Sonar!
Have been following their case, since Suzanne Marie Sevakis, when she wasn't ID ed. It brought me to WS, in the time, when MySpace was huge.
Carens name came up, as a possible match (wich was later ruled out)
Its still a sad outcome.

It sounds like Doris and Caren’s father were involved in a custody fight which resulted in Doris taking their daughter to Florida from their home in Warminister, Pennsylvania on October 20th 1974, per the 1987 Child Find article. I saw in an earlier post after the car’s discovery that it mentioned Doris had threatened to take her and Caren’s lives if she didn’t get full custody. It sounds like they either got into a tragic accident in which they crashed into the canal or Doris drove the car into the water with Caren on purpose.

Update in case of Florida mom and child who vanished five decades ago
Doris Wurst, 34, and her three-year-old daughter, Caren, were last seen traveling in a red 1961 Chevrolet Impala in November 1974 before vanishing without a trace.

Although their identification has not been officially confirmed - their dental records and DNA are still being verified- Plantation police said family members have been contacted in the likelihood that it is them.
