Finally found: Ford Station Wagon of the Missing Family 66 years later in the river
A diver in Oregon believes that he has finally found the Ford station car that belonged to the Martin family, who disappeared almost seven decades ago in 1958. Buried under Silt and other rubble on the bottom of the Columbia River and blocked by other sunken cars, it will take time for authorities to remove the 1954 Ford Ranch -Wagon and indeed to hear if it did indeed hear the Martins.
Autoeraler claims that he was extorted and then kidnapped by a Mexican cartel.
That diver, Archer Mayo, has been chasing Martins to the river station wagon for seven years. When he finally discovered what he regards the right vehicle, he collected part of the tag number, as well as other identifying information from the immersed ride.
Based on that, the authorities descended in the area of Cascade Locks, causing a ship with a tap to the Ford station car from the river. It is currently 50 feet down with at least two other cars in the area that must first be removed.
According to reports, the Martin family rode on a Sunday in the Columbia River Gorge during the search for Christmas “Greenery” that we suppose to decorate their house. A credit card transaction was the only indication for the authorities of their estimated location when the father, mother and three daughters disappeared without a track into their Ford.
Two of the bodies of the daughters were found in the Columbia River in the months after the disappearance of the family, but their parents and the third daughter remained missing, which contributed to the mystery.
The adult son of the Martins, who served with the navy at the time, told the media after his family was missing that he believed they were in fact dead.
Some think the Martins accidentally drove into the river, but others felt that there was false game involved. Perhaps the ranch car will contain evidence to help close a case that has been having some people in Oregon for decades.
