A curious 13-year-old boy discovered a vehicle in a lake in Canada last month, and helped solve the case of a woman who went missing 27 years ago.
The teenager, Max Werenka, was out on a boat ride in August on Griffin Lake near Revelstoke, British Columbia -- where his family runs a business renting out cabins -- when he spotted a vehicle underwater, his mother Nancy Werenka told CNN.They initially assumed the vehicle was related to a 2009 incident when a vehicle crashed into the lake, so they didn't think much of it. Still, they mentioned it to a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who happened to be visiting the next day, she said.
Woman missing for 27 yearsThe body was that of Janet Farris, of Mill Bay, British Columbia, who had gone missing in the fall of 1992 as she was driving to a wedding in Alberta, CNN affiliate CBC News reported. "I think the worst thing was not knowing," her son, 62-year-old George Farris, said."We kind of assumed that maybe she had gone off the road or fallen asleep, or tried to avoid an accident or animal on the road," he said.
