Fisherman helps cops crack Minnesota case

A man using sonar to fish in the Mississippi River found a submerged car that belonged to a Minnesota man who’s been missing since 1967, which could close the mystery of his di­sappearance. Brody Loch was fishing near Sartell, Minn­e­sota, last weekend when a friend with him caught a walleye.

“When he caught the fish, I turned the transducer around and boom, there it was just sitting on the bottom,” Loch said, referring to the car. The Stearns-Benton County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team responded to the area and fished out the car. The car, a 1960s Buick, was still intact and had human remains inside. The car’s number matched the car of missing person Roy Benn, who went missing from Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, decades ago. Benn, 59 at the time, was last seen alive on September 25, 1967, driving his 1963 Buick Electra and carrying a “large sum of money.”
