This episode unravels the intricate details of our search, taking you on a journey through time and technology as we utilize advanced sonar equipment to probe the murky depths of the canal. As we meticulously scanned the area, the waters began to tell a story, revealing the presence of 24 vehicles hidden beneath the surface. It was here, in a haunting 400-yard stretch, that we found Maureen's red 1983 Plymouth Reliant station wagon, submerged and silent, marking the end of a search that spanned nearly four decades.
The discovery of Maureen's car was not just a testament to the dedication of our team and Sunshine State Sonar but also a pivotal moment that prompted immediate action. Understanding the gravity of our find, we swiftly contacted the local authorities, bringing in a seasoned detective who had been shadowing the case. The police dive team was mobilized, diving into the depths to confirm our findings. Their efforts culminated in a poignant moment when they confirmed Maureen's remains were indeed inside the vehicle, just as she had eerily predicted before her disappearance.
Throughout the day, as we navigated the challenges of sonar searching, diving, and coordinating with law enforcement, our resolve never wavered. The emotional weight of the search was palpable, with each team member feeling a deep connection to Maureen's story. We were driven by a shared mission to bring closure to her family, to answer the questions that had lingered for far too long, and to honor her memory by bringing her story to light.
This episode is more than a recounting of a successful search; it's a narrative of collaboration, innovation, and the human spirit's capacity to seek out the truth against all odds. It highlights the importance of working hand in hand with local authorities and leveraging technology to uncover the secrets that lie hidden beneath the surface.
As you join us on this remarkable journey, you become part of a larger story of hope, healing, and the quest for closure. This discovery is a beacon for families still waiting for answers, a reminder that no case is too cold, and no mystery is beyond solving.

She went through the fence into the canal, after previously telling them that she might do that exact thing, and for 38 years, no one looked there? Tragic beyond words.

@@JenAmazed42you are choosing to look at it from a weird angle. Yes, it’s sad but it’s also joyous. I’m sorry but if you believe their celebration is anything other than pure adrenaline, and joy and tons of other emotions is weird then that’s a you problem. And I mean that in the nicest way. You can’t tell people how to process their own emotions. Jared has been doing this for awhile, while one of those men said it was their first day I do believe. I thought it was Incredible to see the energy shift, it’s real. You want people to put on a front? This is real life, real people, real emotions. In my opinion the only thing I noticed is how smooth Jared ran while the others seemed to get confused, tag a vehicle more than once, and just be discombobulated. Once again it’s the difference between years of experience vs doing it a few years or just starting out.

Can you imagine being one of her kids and seeing that car come out of the water looking like that? The car you would've all ridden to the grocery in, gone to church in, gone on vacation in ... so sad.

[@australobuchia]

The good news is that the majority, or even all of the other cars have probably been dumped there with nobody in them (either insurance fraud or dumping after theft or some other unknowable reason). The number of cars very close to the side of the canal and on top of each other also suggests this. They're dumped at consistently car accessible places at low speed. i.e. the car is simply pushed into the canal.

Every time I watch one of the recoveries... I can't help but think of the fear that person had when they went in the water, and it started sinking. So sad...

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

It's hard to comprehend why a woman who is still so young would choose that course. My thoughts are with her family. Thank you all for bringing her home.😢

[@video80634]

38 years ago, the authorities had a lack of ambition to find this woman. If she told family she was going to drive her car into the canal, the canal should have been the first place to check. Unbelievable.

Your work has great purpose, and meaning to all of us,especially the families you bring the closure to

[@ld1994]

When a parent commits suicide like she did, the children are the saddest victims and their pain never completely heals. "Closure" is grossly overrated as many surviving family members have little peace, anger, abandonment issues and unanswered questions.
