This past weekend, three bodies that had been underwater for decades were discovered in Plantation's calm waterways. The Plantation Fire Department confirmed that a 1960s Chevrolet Impala, containing two sets of skeletal remains, was discovered near 10151 SW 1 St. As reported by CBS News Miami, the remains have been identified as those of a mother and child from Pennsylvania who vanished in 1974 amidst a custody dispute.

To illustrate how dire the situation is, a game belonging to the four-year-old girl was found with the remains, matching a family photo shown to divers. 

In a related yet separate discovery is the second car, a submerged vehicle connected to the disappearance of a World War II veteran missing for 20 years. According to a source speaking with CBS News Miami, this car was extracted from behind an apartment complex at 80 Wimbledon Lakes Drive. The man had reportedly been considered suicidal when he disappeared.

NBC6 was informed by Sunshine State Sonar that the woman and child's bodies were found in a canal near 10151 SW 1st Street. In addition, cellphone video acquired by NBC6 captured the moment the second car was being retrieved from the water.

While local residents and the broader community grapple with the reality of these tragic histories emerging to the surface, Plantation Police has yet to confirm the specifics of these cases. However, details around the recoveries and the decades-old mysteries they may solve continue to unfold. Local10 reports that police expect to provide further updates soon. As the community awaits these imminent details, the stories woven into the fabric of Plantation's canals deepen with somber reverence for the lives lost and naturally arisen from the deep.
