I often wonder how many cars with people in them are in these canals.

I think the yellow color is the water . I also think the car is as someone said a
Nissan Maxima. Based on the shape of the back side windows. The small ones. Found this link.Skeletal remains identified as missing woman; husband faces murder charge
The husband was on the run in a white nissan.

Here's their thread: MS - Ms - Kathleen Bowman, 61 (fnd dec), & Charles Bowman, 61, Pearl River County, 13 May 2018
Charles was spotted in Wyoming and Utah at the end of June. I would be surprised if he made his way to Florida after that without more sightings but it's possible...
Does it look like the car has a Handicapped Mississippi license plate?

Not really , but he probably would have been changing plates often. I would think. Not likely to be him though. Wish they would update.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Ghostly, sunken cars lie in South Florida's canals and lakes, hiding lost lives — sometimes for decades.

Broward Sheriff's detectives are investigating two recent cases of dead people recovered from submerged cars in Deerfield Beach: One on a Thursday night from a waterway in Century Village and another in August from a lake along Powerline Road.

While such crashes are rare, they occur most often during clear days on dry, rural roads, records show. Between 2011 and 2016, there were 168 water-related deaths from crashes in the state, according to a South Florida Sun Sentinel analysis of Florida Department of Transportation data. Bad drivers and alcohol were factors in about a quarter of the cases.

I think that most of the time when a persons disappearance involves a vehicle, water is the culprit. So many lakes, rivers and canals to search though. Foss Lake is a prime example of how three cold cases were solved.

yea thats my thinking to

Yeah, I tend to agree. Either water, or off a steep embankment where the car isn't visible.
 
  • #35
Any updates to either case?

"mostly intact" can mean so many things. It might not mean that it's a relatively fresh body. It can mean that all the parts have stayed intact in the same place and parts haven't been absolutely degraded by the bacteria in the water. If the person got the door open or the window, but not the seatbelt - it might mean that fish ...remove... parts of the body underwater.

"Mostly intact" could refer to that not having had happened imo.

This is ridiculous that it's taking this long. You have a car that has a VIN and plates.

Looks like a white 2008 Honda Accord or Fit...
