Okay so this is pretty creepy if you ask me. Google maps seems to pick up more than just locations. Apparently, it has captured a picture of a car containing the body of a Michigan man who has been missing for 9 years. Thats Crazy!
The body inside the car was identified as 72-year-old, David Lee Niles. There is a little yellow area on the picture shown inside of the pond which is the car that Niles was found in. However, the map was not how the car was spotted. Brian Houseman was outside of a funeral home finishing up the touches on a Christmas tree, when he noticed a car inside of the pond. He says no one probably ever would have known it was there.
“All of a sudden, it’s like, ‘Whoa, there’s a car out there.No one could ever see it. It was murky and things moved around.”
After calling local authorities, they got the car removed from the pond and found the skeletal remains of Niles. He was last seen at a bar in Byron Township on October 11th of 2006. The Sherrif’s department left a statement saying,
“On Tuesday, November 10, 2015, at approximately 9:00 AM, the Kent County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team dove the pond and confirmed it was a vehicle in the pond. After obtaining the plate number, they ran the plate and it came back to a missing person case out of the City of Wyoming from October 11, 2006. The Wyoming Police Department was contacted and responded to the scene. A wrecker was contacted and pulled the vehicle out of the pond. Located behind the steering wheel was human remains (mostly skeletal). Also found in the vehicle was a wallet belonging to the missing person.”
Niles’s son-in-law, Scott Hathaway says he now has closure.
“For us today, it’s a closure of a long search. Why God waited nine years, I have no idea, but we’re happy.”
Family members also said Niles was dealing with depression and discomfort from Cancer.
