Chesterfield, Va. --
The discovery of human remains found in a mud-caked car submerged up to seven years in the Appomattox River is shaping up to be an intriguing detective story, police say, with at least one surprising subplot.
Could the skeletal remains found last week in the car be those of a man who assaulted his Petersburg ex-girlfriend in 2003 and then drove off with her vehicle, never to be seen again?
That's a strong possibility, police say.
But how did the car end up in the water, how did the man inside die, and why did it take so long for the vehicle to be discovered in an area of the river popular with fishermen?
Stranger still, how did family members of the man who police suspect died in the car come to believe he had been in prison all these years? As it turns out, police say, they had sent letters and money to a complete stranger with an identical name.
"It's something of a mystery," Chesterfield County police Capt. Terry Patterson said.
