UPDATE: How Google Earth helped find man missing since 1997 in Wellington pond
The pond where the car was found is a stretched tear-drop shape, with homes on two sides and a guardrail on the other.
But that barrier would not have been in place in 1997 to stop Moldt’s car from driving into the pond. Grand Isles was under construction at the time. It sits toward Wellington’s southeast corner and is north of Lake Worth Road and west of State Road 7.
Fay’s home and others in Grand Isles’ Sausalito subdivision weren’t built until 1998. Only the roads and ponds were in place in 1997.
The Saturn was “heavily calcified and was obviously in the water for a significant amount of time,” PBSO said.
It was after crews pulled the car from the water that skeletal remains were found, and it would take nearly two weeks for the Medical Examiner’s Office to confirm the remains were those of Moldt
I have .jpeg showing before and after aerial shot of this exact location, but cannot figure out how to post or imbed. It is a jpeg I created, not a link. Can someone tell me how to attach it?
