A car and human remains likely belonging to a couple who vanished 44 years ago was pulled from a pond in Georgia last week near a hotel they were staying in.

Catharine Romer was reportedly wearing jewelry between $60,000 and $80,000 at the time of the disappearance and her husband Charles Romer left behind $1.2 million in inheritance.

Police in Georgia say 73-year-old retired oil executive Charles Romer and his 75-year-old wife Catherine vanished with their 1978 Lincoln in 1980.
