Christine Heller Seaman, a woman from New York, has been haunted by the disappearance of her grandparents, Catherine and Charles Romer, for 44 years. The couple vanished in April 1980 while traveling home from Miami Beach, Florida in their 1978 Lincoln Continental. The Romers were reported missing, and concerns were raised about foul play due to Catherine’s jewelry worth $81,000.
Decades later, a submerged car similar to the Romers’ Lincoln Continental was discovered in a Georgia pond. One human bone was found in the car, along with personal belongings that matched what the Romers had. However, the human remains have not been identified, and the car has not been confirmed to belong to the couple. Despite this, Seaman and her family believe that the couple may have died in an accident rather than being victims of a crime.
Seaman described her grandmother as the “life of the party” and her step-grandfather as a “lovely and generous man.” She expressed gratitude towards investigators and a diving team from Florida for their efforts in finding the submerged car. Seaman and her family were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with a sense of closure, remembering their missing relatives and sharing happy memories instead of feeling dread and sadness.
Overall, the recent developments in the case have given Seaman and her family a sense of resolve and closure after decades of uncertainty and worry about what happened to their missing grandparents. They are grateful for the efforts of those who helped solve the mystery and bring them peace of mind.
