About a year or more ago we were talking about a four-cylinder Chevy that was located in a lake in Washington by scuba divers. Are there any updates to that story? Was the car ever salvaged?

I think this is the latest article out on the subject.........

DNA Analysis Confirms Identity of Lake Crescent Bones; Closes Long-Standing “Warren Case”

A report received by Olympic National Park this week confirmed what many have suspected for some time – human bones found nearby a wrecked 1927 Chevrolet in Lake Crescent belong to Russell Warren.
DNA extracted from skeletal remains recovered from the scene last December has been matched to a niece of Russell Warren, the owner and driver of the ill-fated car, which disappeared into Lake Crescent in 1929.

Russell Warren and his wife Blanch disappeared in July 1929, on their way home to the Bogachiel Valley from Port Angeles. Investigators at the time suspected their car may have been lost in Lake Crescent, but confirmation was over 70 years in coming. The investigation into the Warren case began anew in 2001, when Bob Caso, a Port Angeles history buff, brought the unsolved case to the attention of area rangers.

The Warren’s car was finally found in April 2002, in over 170 feet of water about four miles west of Barnes Point. Members of the National Park Service Submerged Resources Center mapped and documented the area around the vehicle last December, and retrieved human skeletal remains found nearby. The bones and a DNA sample from Russell Warren’s niece were sent to the FBI crime lab in Virginia for analysis.

The Warrens were survived by two sons, Frank, 13, and Charles, 11, who are now both deceased. Grandchildren and other descendents of Russell and Blanch still live in western Washington.

Known for its cold and very clear water, Lake Crescent is about 18 miles west of Port Angeles, on the northern edge of Olympic National Park. The lake is 12 miles long, over 5,000 acres in surface area and plunges to a maximum depth of 624 feet.
