Wayne Guay, 57, and his wife, Dianne Guay, 55, were found dead in their white Mazada Monday afternoon in Nash County on I-95 between the 139 and 140 mile markers.
The couple was last heard from last Wednesday night when they embarked on a 12-hour trip to Queens, New York.
Friends and family say they regularly traveled to New York to see family and friends for the holidays.
Family members spoke to the couple Wednesday night but became worried when calls to the couple's cell phone went straight to voice mail Thursday. "We started getting nervous," said Daniel Rodriguez, the couple's son-in-law. "When it started hitting 8 or 9 o'clock with no phone call we knew something was wrong."
Wayne Guay, a former employee of New York's Department of Sanitation, and Dianne Guay, a former city school employee, moved to the Myrtle Beach area several years ago after retiring.
The Guay family rented a helicopter to help search, and the state Law Enforcement Division also took to the air Monday in hopes of spotting the couple's car.
Last Thursday Nash County 911 Communications notified the Highway Patrol of a traffic collision at the same location. Nash County EMS and Fire were unable to locate an accident at the reported location.
The Highway Patrol is investigating the collision.
