Do you know the map? We need We need more magnets? We need more magnets and buoys? Still one of them One of them looks like a wagon.

I’m not even kidding you.

I It’s either an SUV or wagon.

It’s got the flat back window.

Looks like a wagon to long is it? Remember the that those Cadillac Reliants are pretty long.

We’d have to get a better angle.

It’s very square.

That back Cadillac Reliant and then that square front end with that It’s got a little point almost.

Yeah.

But hey, let’s fix this one first and then we’ll mark the other one.

One more buoy.

We may have more than three.

Cuz if you hit the car, it’s going to silt everything up.

We won’t be able to see anything.

Yeah, I’m not trying to go kicking Yeah.

silt around and get us goofed up.

I know.

It’s got to be toxic, though.

Make sure you inflate it.

How far down did you go? Did you buoy it? Oh, come here.

Hey.

Okay, the first car the first car is going to be a Honda Accord.

It’s a dark color, like a dark green color.

The license plate number, we got to save this.

Someone’s going to document on this.

We’re going to hand it to the detective.

The license plate number is 803 IVL.

You okay, brother? You good? Yeah.

Good stuff, man.

All right, we got one that’s a Honda Accord, brother.

Did you see that? I couldn’t tell if it was an Accord or if the plate was so dirty.

The plate was so deteriorated I had to take it off before you see it.

Hey, come over here.

All right, you stand outside of the light.

Yeah, so there’s there’s one right here, too.

Looks like that’s one that’s stacked.

Yeah.

He’s making some serious bubble soup.

Yeah.

Yeah, he’s down at 22 ft right now.

There’s two cars that he’s on.

I see him going to next to him right now.

Yep, he’s got the Impala, I got the Mercedes.

There’s no plate on the Impala.

Oh no, cuz I took it off.

No still tag on the Mercedes.

All right, so is this is this buoy on those two cars then? Um I don’t know.

I know one of it ran This is buoy come all the way over here.

Those cars are right up against the embankment.

Yeah.

They’re really like like I There’s three of them basically stacked almost against each other.

There’s three There’s three stacked against each other.

Crazy, yeah.

Cuz the other the other see a four.

The yellow one.

I can picture you.

This one sitting like this.

Yeah.

Okay, that’s Yeah, that’s the I think that’s the There’s a Nissan down there that’s sitting Yeah.

I Okay, you think so? That’s a It is a Nissan.

Uh the license plate against the V is one here.

So yeah, so we yeah, so we have So we’ll take that one too.

That’ll be four cuz we have four more cars down there to go mark.

All right, we’re going to go mark the other four.

Did he do this one right this up against the We we just We just put it in.

We We just marked that one.

Did you see the car that’s sitting It’s sitting on top of? There’s another car below it.

There’s a car sitting underneath another car right here.

I can’t tell.

I’m trying to It’s on its roof and I can just barely make out the fog lights.

Are you serious? Yeah, right here.

All right, hold on, Dave.

Yeah, right there there’s something right That was the one that was on the wheels that we got right there.

Yeah, that one? Yeah, that one we have marked.

And then it’s on its I’m coming to it from off of that dock right there.

I’ll come into it this way, let’s see.

I can pick it up.

That’s the one over on my far left.

And another one on the left.

On that side.

It must have came in from here, floated over.

All right, here we go.

Right here.

This side? I’m off to the side of it.

Kind of on it, but not really.

I’m on it.

And it looks like the other one’s off to the right over there.

And then the other one should be on the right of that one, I believe.

Right there.

Okay.

Are on this side? No, right over We’re right over the top of it.

Let’s get this cleaned up a little bit real quick.

Is this one on the side? Yes, kind of big.

All right, there you should be right on it.

Looks older, too.

Older and boxier.

Right there.

Yeah, looks a lot older.

Yeah, more I think I’m good I’m on it now.

I think Let me see.

Yeah, I’m on it.

If I was put money on any of them today, it’d be that one.

one there? Yeah.

But, we’re not even Like, let’s look at where she lived real quick.

Yeah, the other way like Okay, so right now we’re going away from her house.

Yeah.

But, towards 42nd Street.

And these are all houses back here.

So I don’t think there’s going to be any over here.

end of it is the street she would have been able to go out.

Yeah.

And then it’s the canal goes all along 42nd Street.

So like Is there any access by her house? Uh the other way? Yes.

Cuz there’s not going to be any right here cuz these are all houses here.

Yeah, it’s like uh unless there was a house in 85 that was not it was vacant and she had driven through, right? But at the end of the road right there at 42nd, the canal takes a left-hand turn and a right-hand turn and widens out and goes all along the road.

So it, you know, and it’s the only access for her to get out.

She has to come out of her house, take a left, or she has to go straight down in order to get out of the canals to cross over.

I got my first plate.

First plate.

It’s There you go, brother.

You got it.

It’s a red Dodge Neon.

All right, so 1 2 3 4 5 6 to dive still.

What do you think? Do you see they changed the ball? Jared, I couldn’t get the plate off, so I just grabbed the whole damn tailgate.

So what was it, Dave? Silver uh Chevy Trailblazer.

It’s definitely like a mid-size.

It’s on its roof, still there.

You look at the front seat, anybody inside? It’s tilted.

It’s on its roof.

You can’t you can’t see it.

It’s tilted all the way up to the bottom of the Well, we got the tag.

Later we’ll get them run all these tags and name us.

Then we’re going to see if we got any hits on a missing person case.

All right, there you go.

Yeah, it’s recording.

Okay.

Yep, it’s recording.

I don’t know where it’s at.

See it right here.

On your screen.

See he’s he’s over on this other one.

See he’s he’s over on the Trailblazer again.

Yeah.

What do you think, Dave? Looks to be an uh blue Ford Escort station wagon.

Late ’90s, early 2000s.

On its roof.

Soaked in.

Just there’s too many.

I think that this right here is her.

This this one’s the most promising out of all of them.

Which one? This one.

Let me get out.

Let’s see if I can do it real quick.

Yeah, here you want a camera? Let me try.

So this car right here is the one that we thought was most probable out of everything that we scanned today.

Just because of the size it was, looked like it’d been a older.

He’s down there a while.

You got good news for us? So it’s not her.

It’s a Plymouth Voyager.

Um really old, like one of the first Plymouth Voyagers.

So it is like a wagon.

Right.

The sliding Do you know the sliding door on the side? Yeah.

It was it’s the sliding door is completely open.

Glass is busted out.

Um it is it’s been there forever.

Yeah, it looks Could not find a license plate.

You wait to see the footage of this.

It’s it’s I mean, visibility is horrendous, but that’s what took so long.

Yeah.

It’s got a plate.

Not our car though.

No, it’s a looks like a mid-90’s like Toyota Camry, white.

Okay.

On its roof.

Driver window’s down.

there’s nothing inside.

So, it’s a Chevy Camaro, is there anything? Did you run that one that tag? Were they with it? John, I got the tag here.

All right, hold on.

I’m coming over.

Come on.

This is a Dodge Charger.

It’s like a 2006 silver Dodge Charger.

How many we got left? Uh that’s one.

Okay.

Yeah, Dave’s on it and then uh we’ll go start marking up by the house.

All right, what was it? Old Ford Mustang hatchback.

Probably like late ’80s, early ’90s.

Yeah? A Mustang hatchback.

Wow.

Like a fastback, you know? Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Did you get the plate off that one, too, Dave? Yeah, C A G a number on that Shelly? 11D So, give you a sonar uh overview here.

Looking at this screen over here on the top, that is down imaging.

You see the uh depth right now on the upper left is 24.

1.

Anything that’s black is water column, and that adjust with the depth that you’ll see there on the left.

The bottom screen is side imaging.

Right now, we’re casting 60 ft to the left and 60 ft to the right.

Normally, what I do is I cast 75 and 75.

I’m going to go I’m going to go double-check that back there.

Um look almost looks like it’s like a uh sunken sailboat.

So, normally I cast 75 and 75, but because the channel is uh skinnier, I’m only casting 60 and 60.

This one over here is our live scope.

Anything that’s happening is happening in real time.

I cannot scroll back on the live scope, but if you look here, I can actually scan back on this one cuz it’s a picture in time.

And then I can like zoom in on area, and I can be like, “All right, let me zoom in on this.

Let me see what it is.

” That there.

Oh, see look right there.

We just went over it on live.

Right here.

So, I think that’s a car right there.

And then right there at the where all those cars are at, there’s an opening, and I think we have a bunch of cars over there as well.

But, watch this as I come back.

I’m backing up to it.

On the live right here, you’ll see the wheel at the 12-ft mark right now.

And then at the 6-ft mark, see that? And now we’re right over the top of it.

And so, now you’re going to watch the magnet go down.

We drop the magnet.

See it dropping down? See it at the zero mark right there? So, see where my magnet’s laying? I’m going to drop that magnet right into it and lock it onto the car.

And when you lock on, you’ll know cuz it’ll be a solid magnet lock.

There we go.

Now we’re locked on.

Now, once we get come across this area right here, where this opening is at, we should see a lot more over here.

Yeah, there’s a whole bunch right here.

Is what it looked like.

I did a pass from over there.

I have the one marked right there.

Yeah, there’s Yeah, that’s one right there.

Yeah, I think there’s two right here.

Yo.

You guys got a car down there, huh? Yeah, we have like five down here.

So, there’s an opening in the gate down here.

So, if you guys can move both vehicles down here, I’d move I’d move both or all three vehicles down here.

But yeah, there’s like five and there’s an opening in the fence here.

Wow.

Yeah, you guys So, you guys are way around I was just looking at the map of where our home is.

Yeah.

So, you guys are probably about five about five homes past our home.

Yeah.

Yeah, there’s I I’ve got one marked.

I’m on top of two more right here.

Um Shelly and John are right over the top of some other ones.

Okay.

So, yeah Yeah, move move the trailer over here.

Yeah, there’s two right here on top of each other.

There’s another one like kind of right where you’re coming up to.

Okay.

Yeah, so we’re on that one.

We got four cars so far.

So, we got those ones.

So, there’s those th- those three right there.

And then see there’s another one right over the top of it right here.

Yeah, you’re on that one right there? Yeah, you should be right over one right there.

And then there’s another one right here.

All right, we’re on that one.

Yeah, there’s so many here.

There’s like two, three, four, five.

Hey, when you guys dive on this, make sure you kick your fins out and see if you bump into any others.

14, 15, 16 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 20, 21 cars today so far.

All right, so you can see this one with the rope to it.

And that one’s with the rope to it.

So, the good news is we didn’t latch onto the same one.

And that one over there.

Three and over there.

Uh that one.

Oh, we might have another one right here.

So hard to tell.

Right here, Mike.

It’s like a really Dude.

Like an ’80s early ’80s like Honda.

Like I’m talking real early ’80s.

Um So buried in the trees? Yeah.

I can’t even get to the tank.

All I can see is the wheels.

That’s it.

Eight six one H N K.

This is an old Ford LTD.

The trunk is open.

Cannot get to the tag.

It’s buried in the silt.

It’s white color, white.

That car right there probably early early 80s.

No hubcaps.

Three cars, I got two of the plates.

One’s a pickup and one’s a Looks like a Pontiac Grand Am.

But right as I was coming off that car, Mike was coming down to it, so he might be on it right now.

The last three are eight six L.

This thing is unrecognizable.

It’s a red wagon.

Serious? It’s a red wagon, it’s unrecogn- I ripped the mirror off it.

I can’t tell what it is.

There’s no emblems, there’s no license plates.

A red wagon.

It’s a red wagon.

Can you Can you How about the tail lights? Can you pull up what the tail lights look like? That’s the back end.

Yeah, I’m seeing It’s like a squarish Yeah, the tail lights wrap around the side, but they were they were like half white.

Pontiac No, it’s silver.

Cuz the whole thing’s chromed out.

Does the car in all the pictures and stuff have chrome? Yeah.

Chrome with a black What color is that that trim piece? It’s like lash.

That’s what this the key is black.

Really? But I’m talking on the rocker panels like you all the way at the bottom of the door.

Yeah.

Lower lower than the normal like the Ford Escorts down the middle.

Yeah, the door locks.

This is down the bottom.

Yeah.

Mike.

Yo, which which buoy? It’s away from me.

You going down? Yeah.

And then you can see right there.

This one is HA1166855 for the mirror.

Yeah.

HA110855.

Yeah.

What do you think, Dave? It’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the red car.

What’s the black? Yeah.

You find a logo on it? Yeah, Jeep.

That’s a Jeep.

Damn.

We’re coming up on the road right here.

Yeah, I think her house is to the one of the trampoline.

Or right near here.

And so we’re down three two houses right now from where this other dead end road is.

But I didn’t see an access like the one that we were just on.

So let’s look really close at it and really scan this area here cuz this would have been more open 30 plus years ago.

So it’s going to be right past this great big tree right here.

Right there.

That’s where the road used to come.

And it looks like there’s a car right there.

Really old.

Let’s let me check this from different angles.

Right there.

See it? The one and only car right there.

See it? Right there.

So it’s off to the right just a little bit.

Get the bike ready.

And her house is right there.

Yep, two doors down.

And she said that she was going to do it right next to her house in the canal.

It’s crazy how all these have been upside down.

See it right there? 38 years ago.

All right, she’s over there.

Stuck on the side of the tree there.

Stuck in the tree.

All right, there we go.

Yeah, I’ll swing down onto the car.

There we go.

We’re on the car.

Let’s see if there’s any other in here.

We got one.

You got one? Yep.

Closest to her house.

Yeah, see you can’t even see that stuff on side and down imaging.

If we didn’t have live, we wouldn’t have found most of these today.

It’s really weird.

John, you able to see it? Yeah.

Right there.

See how high it is right there? I think those are tires right there.

Yeah, but I see the tires at the number two marker right now.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it’s upside down.

Yeah, it’s upside down, but that side of it is sticking up higher.

Cuz it’s a wagon.

I got a wagon upside down.

No way.

Yep.

Are you serious, dude? That’s right where our house is, dude.

I know, it’s at the dead end road right next to your house.

She’s two doors away from her house.

So this makes 21 in this canal total, 21 cars.

20 No, 24.

Really? Because there was a underneath and underneath.

Oh, that’s right, the underneath one.

See, I didn’t even count that.

So we had 20 21 plus the two extra, that’s 24 cars.

Yeah.

That’s crazy.

Yeah, look look at this.

So Phil, this is the road, that’s the fence, these trees now.

30 years.

That’s just broken on this side.

We just found Marie Sherman dead.

Yeah.

That’s fine.

We got her, dude.

Oh my gosh, Paul.

What are you doing? He’s down there.

I would go right with him.

Yeah.

Walk under there.

Go go with him, Mike.

I’m going to look inside the car and see if we can see anything inside there.

I just touched the plate and it like just blew up in my hand.

Yeah.

It’s so bad, dude.

This is all I can recover out of it.

So, listen, the driver’s side window is up.

I tried I yep.

So, the remains are going to be in it.

The window I All I could All I saw was the driver’s side window.

I could go back down.

I didn’t want to lose this plate because I looked for that.

Go back down.

Check all the other windows.

Let me see what the other ones are.

I know we can go with that.

That’s awesome if they’re all up.

Can you make any numbers off of that, brother? There’s an eight on it.

Do we have an eight? Who’s got the tag? Well, I got a B.

Not bad for day one.

Carl Carl, listen.

We we found Marie Sherman.

We got her, brother.

We got her, dude.

We got the license plate confirmation.

She was in the canal right behind her house.

She was in She was You got it, brother.

I’ll talk to you later.

So, she’s right at the end of her road.

So, she literally went out of her house and into the street, the canal, and and right through the fence.

Took 38 years to She didn’t make it more than 100 yards.

So, that’s what she had.

Right here, there’s seven more.

There’s only one right here, and that’s her.

So, there’s seven cars here? Yeah, and then four cars there.

Okay.

And you you you had a picture of that plate that you brought up? Yes.

And we have a plate Yeah, yeah, let me see it.

And as I said, you saw it under under water.

When they came up the first time, they said it’s 875, so that’s why we knew, and they confirmed it right away.

So, where where that red buoy is at? Yeah, I saw it from over there.

Um do you know if our divers were called out? Um It’s been a really long day as we came into this case work looking for Marine Sherman who went missing May 1st of 1985.

We found her car today after 24 cars, drove on every single one of them, and the 24th car was hers.

All the windows are up.

We do believe that she’s inside.

Right now, we have Miami-Dade Sheriff who is taking over.

This is now a crime scene, so we’re going to be pulling the boat out of water.

Fingers crossed, she’s in there, and we can finally give the family the answers they’ve been looking for for 38 years.

We just got confirmation that Noreen Sherman is in the back of the vehicle.

It’s been 38 years since her family has been looking for answers, and today they got them.
