Submerged car containing man missing for 20+ years found on Google Earth

In 1997, William Moldt, then 40, called his girlfriend from a Palm Beach County, Florida bar to tell her he was on his way home. He didn’t show up and was never heard from again.

Recently though, a former Wellington, Florida was looking at this Google Earth image of their former neighborhood and noticed something curious in a pond. From Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office:


That previous resident contacted the current resident living on Moon Bay Circle and advised he noticed what appears to be a vehicle in a pond behind his home. The current resident activated his personal drone and confirmed what the previous resident saw and immediately contacted PBSO.

Upon arrival deputies confirmed there was a vehicle in the pond. The vehicle’s exterior was heavily calcified and was obviously in the water for a significant amount of time. Upon removing the vehicle skeleton remains were found inside.


…The remains were positively identified as William Moldt.
