A man has been missing for 22 years without a trace. Thanks to Google Earth, this person's whereabouts were discovered. William Moldt was reported missing from Lantana, Florida, on November 7, 1997. He did not return home after a night out. At around 21.30, the 40 year old man contacted his girlfriend to say he would be home soon. But apparently, that was the last contact between them.[1]
Then the police tried hard to find Moldt, but this case ended up being a cold case for more than two decades. Unexpectedly, in August 2019, a new bright spot where Moldt was located emerged. One day, someone was checking on his old house in the Grand Isles neighborhood of Wellington, Florida. When he looked at Google Earth, he saw something strange in a large pond. Curious, he zoomed in on Google Earth. He also saw an object that looked like a car and immediately contacted the person who lived in the house to check it.[2]
The homeowner, Barry Fay, then flew his drone over the area. It was there that he found a white car that had sunk. Fay rushed to report to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office. Not long after, the police arrived. When the car was towed and the door opened, they found skeletal remains that were later confirmed to be Moldt's body. "Obviously it had been in the water for a long time," police said. Meanwhile, Fay admitted that she assumed it was just an old car wreck. “I never believed there would be a 22-year-old body,” he admitted to The Palm Beach Post. Additional facts, it turns out that the car has been seen on Google Earth since 2007. This is based on the Charley Project report, an online database of unsolved cases in the US. However, it took 12 years for someone to find it.[3]
Previously, the sheriff's office told the BBC in 2019 that Moldt likely lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a pond. However, witnesses said he did not appear drunk when he left the nightclub. Police insist that when the investigation into Moldt's disappearance was first launched, the car was nowhere to be seen. Now, there is a change in the pool waters so that these vehicles can appear. "You can't say for sure what happened years ago, what happened," police spokeswoman Teri Barbera told the news site. "All we know is that he disappeared from the face of the earth, and now he has been found," he said.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
