The white 2012 Chevrolet Impala of Robert Heikka was recovered from a canal along Pioneer Trail near New Smyrna Beach, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said.
A body was discovered inside a submerged car that belonged to a teacher who has been missing for nearly three years, authorities in Florida said Saturday.
The nonprofit Sunshine State Sonar Search Team and Recon Dive Recovery members spotted the car after a recent and significant drop in the canal’s water level and confirmed the tag, officials said.“While positive ID has not officially been made, the Port Orange Police Department has been in contact with Mr. Heikka’s family,” the sheriff’s office said. “Our thoughts go out to the Heikka family and friends this evening.”The sheriff’s dive team pulled the car from the canal.
Neighbors have told investigators that they last saw the teacher leaving his home the morning of Oct. 24, 2020, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.
