 . Police say car pulled from lake matches the car belonging to a person reported missing in 1972

North Carolina authorities found human remains inside a car they pulled from a lake in Caldwell County on Tuesday.
Dive teams were able to retrieve the Green 1968 Pontiac Catalina from approximately 30 feet of water, the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.

Authorities say the car matches a car belonging to a person that was reported missing to the sheriff’s office on February 19, 1972.
The remains will be transferred to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy and identification, police said.
Officials say there are no signs of foul play at this point in their investigation.
“We take a serious approach to all case reported to the Sheriff’s Office and never consider a case closed until the truth is known,” said Caldwell County Sheriff Alan C. Jones.
