2 cars containing 6bodies that sank a decade apart arefound in a lake after 40 years

The discovery of two rusting vintage cars containing six bodies has reignited the
mystery of how three teenagers and three other people vanished more than four
decades ago.
Highway patrol officers testing their sonar equipment Foss Lake near Elk City,
Oklahoma on Friday stumbled upon the rusting 1969 Camaro and a Chevrolet
dating back to the 1950s.
Inside the Camaro were three bodies believed to be of local teenagers who
vanished after going out for a drive in 1970. Inside the Chevrolet were three
more bodies – thought to be a 69-year-old man and his two friends who went
missing in the state in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Police say the Camaro matches the vehicle associated with the three missing
teenagers who disappeared on November 10 1970. They say they have
confirmed the identity of at least one of the victims however details are yet to
be released.
Authorities have not formally identified all of the remains belong to but the local
paper has made a clear connection between the discovered
Camaro and the
teens.
The latest reports by local station KFOR states that one of the victims in the car
thought to have belonged to the teenager has been identified but they are
waiting to notify all of the relatives of the victims involved before releasing any
names.
Jimmy Allen Williams 16, Thomas Michael Rios, 18, and Leah Gail Johnson, 18, all
went missing after going for a drive in Jimmy’s blue 1969 Camaro on November
20, 1970.
They are still listed as missing persons and were thought to have been headed to
a football game in nearby Elk City but also could have detoured to go hunting at
Foss Lake.
Local woman Kim Carmichael was a friend of the Camaro's owner, 16-year-old
Jimmy Williams.
She told Oklahoma's Newsnine.com : 'I just remember how devastated
everybody was
'We lived in a little town ... Nothing like that ever happened in Sayre.
At the time of the disappearance, Ms Carmichael's father was the undersheriff in
nearby Beckham County where the teens were last seen. He died in 2003 never
knowing what happened.
Ms Carmichael added: 'He said there was nothing ... There were no leads, no
nothing. He said it was just like they vanished into thin air.'I can't imagine what
[Williams'] family was going through if I could see what my dad was going
through.'
Oklahoma Highway Patrol said they are hoping the discovery will offer some
relief to families who may have gone decades wondering where a missing loved
one was.
