The remains of a man who went missing two decades ago in Florida have been found in a submerged car visible on Google Maps.
一名20年前在佛羅裡達州失蹤的男子的遺體在一輛水下汽車中被發現，這輛汽車在谷歌地圖上可見。
William Moldt, was reported missing from Lantana, Florida, on 7 November 1997.
William Moldt於1997年11月7日在佛羅裡達的Lantana失蹤。
He failed to return home from a night out at a club when he was 40 years old.
40歲的他在俱樂部玩完之後晚上沒能回到家中。
A missing person investigation was launched by police but the case went cold.
警方已對失蹤人員展開調查，但案件進展緩慢。
On 28 August this year - 22 years on - police were called to reports of a car found in a pond in Moon Bay Circle, Wellington.
事情已經過去了22年，今年8月28日，警方接到報警，稱在惠靈頓月亮灣圓環的一個池塘裡發現了一輛汽車。
When the vehicle was pulled from the water, skeletal remains were found inside. One week later the remains were positively identified as belonging to Mr Moldt.
當這輛車被從水中拖出來時，裡面發現了一具骨架。一周後，這些遺骸被確定是Moldt。
Mr Moldt’s sunken car was spotted by a previous resident of the area after "doing a Google search", police said.
警方表示，在「進行了谷歌搜索」後，該地區的一名前居民發現了Moldt沉沒的汽車。
The man then contacted a current resident of Moon Bay Circle to tell them what he had seen. Using his personal drone, the current resident confirmed there was a car in the pond and contacted police.
隨後，這名男子聯繫了月亮灣環島目前的居民，告訴他們他看到的景象。當地居民用自己的無人機確認池塘裡確實有一輛車後，與警方取得了聯繫。
A report by the Charley Project, an online database of cold cases in the US, said the "vehicle had plainly [been] visible on a Google Earth satellite photo of the area since 2007, but apparently no-one had noticed it until 2019".
美國感冒病例在線資料庫Charley Project的一份報告稱，「自2007年以來，在該地區的一張谷歌地球衛星照片上，這輛車就明顯可見，但顯然直到2019年才有人注意到它。」
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office told the BBC that Mr Moldt is presumed to have lost control of his vehicle and driven into the pond.
棕櫚灘縣治安官辦公室告訴BBC，據推測，莫爾特當時失去了對汽車的控制，衝入了池塘。
The force said that, during the initial investigation into his disappearance, there was "no evidence of that occurring" until recently, when a shift in the water made the car visible.
警方表示，在對他失蹤的初步調查期間，「沒有證據表明發生過這種情況」，直到最近，水面的移動才讓那輛車變得可見。
