细思极恐……

过去二十多年来，William Moldt的家人一直不知道他去了哪里。最近，因为谷歌地图上的意外发现，这个22年的谜团终于被揭开了。

事情要从22年前，一个月黑风高的夜晚说起……

Moldt, who was 40 at the time, seemingly vanished from Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 7, 1997. That evening, he called his girlfriend from a bar to tell her he would be home soon, according to CNN affiliate WPTV.

当时40岁的Moldt，于1997年11月7日在佛罗里达州的棕榈滩县消失。那天晚上，他从一家酒吧打电话给女朋友，告诉她他很快就会回家，据CNN的分支机构WPTV报道。

Shortly afterward, he was seen leaving the bar, alone and getting in his vehicle. He reportedly did not appear intoxicated, according to WPTV.

不久之后，他被看到独自离开酒吧，坐上自己的汽车。据WPTV报道，他看上去并没有喝醉。

从那以后，一晃22年，没有人知道Moldt的下落。直到前不久，有人在看谷歌地图时，在地图上发现了一样奇怪的东西。

在水池的左上方，似乎有一辆沉在水里的车辆。

A previous resident of a neighborhood in Wellington, Florida, was searching around on Google Earth when they noticed something in the water, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. In the images from Google Earth, you can see what appears to be a car in a retention pond that is flanked by homes.

根据棕榈滩县治安官办公室的说法，一个曾居住在佛罗里达州惠灵顿的居民，用谷歌地图查看自己以前的家时，在附近一片水域发现了什么东西。从谷歌地图的图像中，可以看到水池中，一辆汽车一样的东西若隐若现。

The former resident, who was not identified by police, then contacted a current resident that lives adjacent from the submerged object.

这位未透露姓名的前居民，很快联系到了现在居住在水池边上的住客。

"The current resident activated his personal drone and confirmed what the previous resident saw and immediately contacted PBSO," police said.

警方说：“现在的居民使用了他自己的无人机，证实了以前居民看到的东西，并立即联系了棕榈滩县治安官办公室。”

警方接报后，立刻开启打捞工作。

The object spotted turned out to be a vehicle that "was heavily calcified," and after removing it from the pond, police discovered skeletal remains inside.

从池塘里打捞上来后，警方发现了“严重钙化”的车辆，在内部发现了的骨骼遗骸。

The remains were transported to the Medical Examiner's Office for processing, and on Tuesday, they were positively identified as Moldt.

遗体被送到医学检查办公室进行处理。周二证实了这就是Moldt的遗体。
