Bombshell break in case of Scarsdale couple who vanished in Georgia 44 years ago after cops pull car from pond

The skeletal remains of two bodies – and a trove of jewelry including a Rolex watch and diamond ring – were pulled from a submerged car that likely belonged to the Scarsdale couple that vanished 44 years ago, authorities and family said Wednesday.

The bombshell findings come as Georgia authorities were finally able to pull the vehicle from a pond after it was first discovered Friday near the Holiday Inn where Charles and Catherine Romer were staying leading up to their disappearance in April 1980.

Human remains in the car “conclusively show the bodies of two people were in the vehicle,” a Glynn County police spokesperson in the Peach State said in an email to The Post.

But authorities are far from confirming the identities of the two bodies, the spokesperson said. Investigators are also seeking a VIN number from the car to see if it matches up with the Romers’ 1979 Lincoln Continental that the pair were in at the time of the disappearance.

Personal items, including the Rolex, diamond ring, other jewelry and a license plate bearing their initials were also found, a granddaughter of Catherine Romer, Christine Seaman Heller said in a statement to The Post. The family had feared the couple may have been murdered and targeted for their belongings.

“We are grateful for the progress made and the dedication of those working on this case,” she said.
