The Grand Isles man, Brian Martin, was searching his old neighborhood when he spotted a light-colored object in the water behind his old house. He contacted the new owners to ask if they knew about the object, which led to them sending out up drone to inspect it.

That led to a call to police.

According to WPTV, deputies responded to the call on Moon Bay Cir. on Aug. 28 at approximately 6:30 p.m. and towed the vehicle from the water.

Inside the car, which is still visible on Google Maps, were the 22-year-old skeletal remains of William Earl Moldt, who was last seen on Nov. 7, 1997, and was reported missing the next day.

Moldt was 40 when he disappeared and would be 62 years old today. He was believed to have had several drinks before leaving an adult nightclub on the night he disappeared.

A Facebook post by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office details how the remains were found.
