William Moldt was reported missing from Lantana, Florida, on 7 November 1997. He failed to return home from a night out at a club when he was 40 years old. A missing person investigation was launched by police but the case went cold. On 28 August 2019, police were called to reports a car found in a pond in Moon Bay Circle, Wellington.
When the vehicle was pulled from the water, skeletal remains were found inside. One week later the remains were positively identified as belonging to Mr. Moldt. Moldt's sunken car was spotted by a previous resident of the area after "doing a Google search", police said. The man then contacted a current resident of Moon Bay Circle to tell them what he had seen. Using his drone, the current resident confirmed there was a car in the pond and contacted police.
