Car retrieved from Hodgkins pond potentially connected to 20-year-old disappearance, authorities claim
In a chilling development, a 1998 Lincoln Town Car, long missing since a report filed in 2001, has been discovered submerged in a pond in the southwest suburbs of Illinois. The vehicle was found near Joliet Road and East Avenue in Hodgkins, Illinois, on Saturday.
The scuba diving team, who specialise in investigating cold cases, made the discovery while working on a separate missing persons case. However, no further details about that case have been released.
The identity of the deceased and the missing person from the 2001 case remain a mystery, as no additional information has been provided by the authorities. The condition of the body and the cause of death are also yet to be disclosed.
The Elgin police have recently launched a podcast exploring unsolved crimes in the region, but it does not seem to have provided any new information about this particular case. The contract holder of the missing Lincoln Town Car is not available in the search results at this time.
The discovery of the vehicle has reignited hopes for answers in the 2001 missing persons case. As the investigation continues, the community waits with bated breath for any updates that may bring closure to this long-standing mystery.
