Never be an early adopter of new technology. In this case, voice-assisted GPS. “Turn left.” “But there seems to be some wate...” “I SAID TURN LEFT!”

Wait until autonomous vehicles become the norm. Guided by that same reliable GPS, when it tells your CPU to Turn Left, it will do it without question.

I was fascinated with this story because I have lived in this region for a long time, and love using aerial photos for research and just fun browsing. These are two aerial photos off Google Map framing the date range he went missing in 1997. Left photo is Feb. 1995, right is Feb. 1999. You can see how development totally the sculpts land here in South FL. Only agricultural land and intermittent canals were here at first. I’m guessing sometime between ‘95 and ‘99 the initial water body was constructed, since it doesn’t appear a canal was right at the car location in ‘95. The homeowner said even during intervals of low water, he saw no car. The water is deceivingly murky, only at elevation would you see something. The address is 3783 MOON BAY CIR
WELLINGTON if you want to check out the Google Maps or the Palm Beach County Appraiser website to see other photos. Bing Maps provide superior birds-eye view from 4 directions which also helps study a specific from different vantage points. I am trying to attach .jpgs here, I don’t know how.
