“It was 100% luck, if my boyfriend would not have caught this golden, we would have continued to float (the river) and would never have found it,” Loch on Wcco told.
Soyka said he feared that the car, a Buick from the 1960s, could separate if it had rose to the surface, given the duration of the vehicle. But when the investigators took out the river buick, “surprisingly, it appeared quite intact,” he said.
After working with a local towing company to remove the car from the water, the investigators then corresponded to the identification number of the car vehicle to Roy Benn, disappeared in September 1967, according to a press release from the Sheriff.
The native of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, was last seen in the driving of a Buick Electra in metallic blue of 1963, according to a bulletin of the missing person of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
“Based on human remains, the items found in the car and the verification of the vehicle wine number, the Sheriff’s (local) offices believe that it is Mr. Benn,” said Stearns County Sheriff’s office in the press release.
Benn would have “brought a large sum of money during his last view,” according to the office.
Benn’s search continued months after his disappearance and, during the more than five decades later, he was last seen.

Heck warned that “some of the typical techniques that our partners, the medical forensic office, would use to identify will not be really effective” due to the duration of the period when the body was underwater.
“We think there is a strong indication that it will be the vehicle of Roy Benn, and it is probably his remains,” said Heck.
Heck added that Roy Benn the closest parent was informed of the discovery. The department had previously contacted them to obtain family DNA.
“We are just grateful that we probably had the break we needed to close this family,” said Heck.
