Steven Willard Anderson went missing in June 2004, and his disappearance has been an ongoing investigation for many years. United Search Corps' Doug Bishop and Dave Sparks, with Spark Motors, started collaborating with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office on the case in April.

On Sunday, Bishop located a submerged vehicle approximately 50 feet deep in Starvation Reservoir on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation outside Duchesne, in eastern Utah. The vehicle was confirmed to be connected to Anderson's case, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Tuesday.

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office worked with the United Search Corps, Duchesne County Sheriff's Office, Sparks Heavy Rescue, Atlas Towing and the Utah Department of Natural Resources to retrieve the vehicle from the reservoir on Monday.

Human remains were found inside the vehicle, but the identification of the remains has not been completed.

From the Charley Project page on him.

Anderson was last seen in Salt Lake County, Utah on June 3, 2004. He left to go paint the deck at his family's cabin at Flaming Gorge, but apparently never arrived there. He has never been heard from again.

Anderson was driving a leased dark green 2001 Toyota Sequoia at the time of his disappearance; it has never been recovered. His cellular phone was turned off after his idsappearance and has never been recovered. He left behind three children. His case remains unsolved.

That would just be insane if the body was not him, so I am going with it is.

[Bewitchingstorm]

I agree, Nic. I think it is him.

What would make them, all of a sudden, search there?
