Cars In Oklahoma Lake Found; Decades Old Skeletal Remains Discovered Inside [VIDEO]

Oklahoma officials stumbled onto two rusty, mud-caked cars at the bottom of a lake, where they found six skulls and skeletal remains, sat 3 feet apart under 12 feet of "super murky" water. The vehicles, possibly missing for more than 40 years, were removed from Foss Lake in Elk City and might help solve cold cases from decades ago.

The cars in the Oklahoma lake were discovered almost by accident when the Oklahoma Highway Patrol divers were testing new sonar equipment in the lake and came across the cars. What they found was a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and another unidentified Chevrolet car from the 1950s. They have since recovered six skulls and matching bones.

"It's just so crazy," Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokeswoman Betsy Randolph told ABCNews.com. “Our guys just naturally assumed this may have been a stolen car pushed off into the lake. Sometimes that happens," Randolph said. "As soon as they pulled up the first vehicle, they found a femur bone in the driver's seat."

"We're hoping these individuals, that this is going to bring some sort of closure to some families out there who have been waiting to hear about missing people," Randolph said. "If that's the case, then we're thrilled we were able to bring some sort of closure to those families."

Of the six human remains, three are already at the state medical examiner's office in Oklahoma City, as work is underway to identify the skeletal remains. The identities of the bodies have yet to be confirmed, and only the cars have led investigators to clues of who these individuals might have been.

However, Custer County Sheriff Bruce Peoples said one of the cars might belong to Jimmy Williams, 16, who was reported missing in 1970. His car was a 1969 blue Chevrolet Camaro, which looked similar to one of the cars that were recovered. He was last known to be driving around with his friends Thomas Rios, 18, and Leah Johnson, 18, and none of them have been seen since. The second car could match another cold case from Washita Country.

"It's closure for those families that no longer have to wonder what happened to their loved ones and that's one of the reasons, of course, we investigate this, to determine if a crime was committed," Peoples said.
