After two days of dredging, a crane on Friday pulled a Ford station wagon from the Columbia River.
After two days of dredging, a crane on Friday pulled a Ford station wagon from the Columbia River that officials believe belonged to an Oregon family who disappeared while on a trip 66 years ago to collect Christmas greenery.
The vehicle came apart in the process and only the frame with wheels attached came out as the crane lifted it out of the water. The body, which was visible in diving videos, came off the frame in the retrieval process, which started about 3:44 p.m. Friday and took about 10 minutes.
The car will be wrapped and sent to a warehouse where a forensic team will try to learn more about its owners, said Pete Hughes, a Hood River County Sheriff’s deputy. But officials felt certain the found the car they were looking for, he said.
“Everything matches,” he said. “It appears to be the color, make and model of the Martin vehicle,” Hughes said.
The search for the Martin family was a national news story at the time and led some to speculate about the possibility of foul play, with a $1,000 reward offered for information. “Where do you search if you’ve already searched every place logic and fragmentary clues would suggest?” an Associated Press article wondered in 1959, months after the disappearance.
