Christine Heller Seaman, a New York woman, has been haunted for decades by the disappearance of her grandparents, Catherine and Charles Romer, who went missing 44 years ago while traveling home from Miami Beach, Florida. Despite the lack of answers for years, recent developments have brought new hope for closure.
Their 1978 Lincoln Continental, believed to have been driven by the couple, was discovered submerged in a Georgia pond, with a human bone found inside. Personal belongings, including jewelry and a license plate bearing the couple’s initials, were also found in the car. While the human remains have not been identified as belonging to the Romers, the discovery has given the family some much-needed peace.
Seaman shared that her family spent Thanksgiving reminiscing about their missing relatives, which was a happy time as they celebrated their lives and shared fond memories without the usual sorrow and dread. Catherine Romer was described as the “life of the party” who loved thoroughbred racing and traveling with her granddaughters, always making them feel special. Charles Romer was remembered as a generous man.
Seaman expressed gratitude toward investigators and the Sunshine State Sonar team from Florida for their efforts in solving the mystery. While a positive identification is still pending, the family is comforted by the progress made in uncovering the truth about what happened to Catherine and Charles Romer. They believe the couple may have died in an accident rather than falling victim to foul play, bringing them a sense of closure and peace of mind after so many years of uncertainty.
