The object found by investigators in the Atchafalaya River is not the vehicle of a man missing since 2011.

Sheriff Bobby Guidroz said investigators did not find a car where Phillip Lafleur allegedly said he dumped his great-uncle's car with his body strapped in it.

Late today, we learned that investigators have found an object in the river that they believe may be Lafleur's car. Guidroz said the object was not Lafleur's car, and the search was called off. Nothing else was found in the area.

Lafleur pleads guilty in two slayings, sentenced to life

Phillip Lafleur was indicted in August in his uncle's slaying. He allegedly confessed to that murder. He told detectives that he beat his uncle to death because he wanted money. He said he strapped the body into a car and pushed it into the river.

Dale Lafleur, 68, disappeared in July 2011 from his home on Bayou Road in Port Barre. He was last seen driving his blue 1991 Mazda Miata convertible. At the time, deputies said he had been sick and depressed, but they suspected his disappearance involved foul play. A search and rescue operation was mounted, but no trace of him was ever found.

Is this a case Adventures With Purpose would check into? Surely investigators did sonar further down river.
