Volunteer divers have found the car belonging to a Miami woman who has been missing for nearly 40 years. The discovery was made on Friday Jan. 5.
Maureen Therese Sherman left her home on May 1, 1985, saying she intended to end her life by driving her vehicle into a nearby canal. She was 47 years old at the time, and neither her nor her red Plymouth Reliant K Station wagon were ever seen again, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department missing person flyer.
MDPD spokesperson Luis Sierra said her car was found with a body inside by Sunshine State Sonar dive team. They called it in and officials took over in pulling the car and the human remains, according to Sierra.
