Two Minnesota fishermen made an unexpected discovery under the Mississippi River this week, when sonar technology led them to what the authorities say it could be interrupted with a cold cold case.
Brody Loch, one of the fishermen, told a CNN WCCO branch that he noticed a car in the river using his sonar device last weekend. Three days later on Wednesday, divers placed the vehicle and found human remains inside, said Sheriff of Stirns Steve Saika to CNN.
“It was 100% luck, if my friend would not catch this wallet, we would continue to sail down (the river) and we would never find it,” Loch told WCCO.
Soy said he was afraid that the car, the Buick of the era of the 60s, could fall apart if taken to the surface, given how long the vehicle is immersed. But when investigators removed Buik from the river, “surprisingly, he appeared quite intact,” he said.
After working with a local towing company to remove the car from the water, then investigators coincide with the car’s identification number with Roy Ben, which disappeared in September 1967, according to a message from the sheriff’s office.
The Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, was last seen driving a 1963 metal Blue Buick Electra metal, according to the missing officer from the Minesota Criminal Retention Bureau.
“Based on the human remains, the objects found in the car, and a check of the VIN number of the vehicle, (the local) sheriff’s offices think this is a b -Ben,” the Sheriff’s Sheriff’s Sheriff said.
It is reported that Ben was “carried a large sum of money when he was last seen”, according to the desk.

Roy Ben was declared legally dead in 1975, eight years after he disappeared, according to the archives of St. Cloud Daily Times.
The Sheriff of Benton Sheriff is investigating the case, and the remains found in Buick have been sent to the office for a medical examination to check.
Heck warned that “some of the typical techniques that our partners, the medical examination cabinet, will use to identify, will not be truly effective” due to the length of time when the body was underwater.
“We believe there are strong indications that this will be Roy Ben’s vehicle and these are probably his remains,” Hek said.
Hek added that Roy Ben’s survival was then informed of the discovery. Earlier, the department turned to them to receive family DNA.
“We are just grateful that we most likely finally got the vacation we needed to end this family,” Hek said.
