About
Over 700 people are missing with their vehicles in North America, and there are likely more with no records online.
This site keeps track of these cases as a resource for those who have the equipment to help locate them, but may not know of cases in their area.
Since 2020, around 50 cases over 3 years old have been solved due to the use of sonar technology, with the oldest being 50 years missing.
The main featured map began as a personal project in early 2021.
In 2022 the website was created to hold the map and more information.
Charley Project and Namus have been helpful in finding these cases and information on them.

FAQ
What is the criteria for cases to be featured here?
Every case featured here involves a person missing with a vehicle, or suspected to be missing with a vehicle, due to the chances of finding vehicles using sonar.
For various reasons, cases may not get added until they are 6 months to a year old, unless requested by a family member.
How can I help?
Raising awareness is the best way to help!
A printable flyer is available on the home page that links to this website through a QR code so it can be posted for any case, as well as flyers made specifically for featured cases. The idea for these is that they can be placed at boat ramps, marinas, bait shops and anywhere that people with the equipment to help will see them.
Donations are accepted and appreciated on this site but not expected, 100% of the funds will go towards this, most likely site expenses.
If you’d like to help with the site or have ideas on ways it can better serve these cases please reach out!
Do you have future plans for this site?
The site will continue to be maintained with cases added to the map, featured cases each month and updates to solved cases.
There are plans to make the content more easily searchable and to include more information about sonar and more ways to help.
Who is behind this website?
My name is Brianna, I was 22 when I began this site and a college student working towards a degree in Biology. I have no personal connection to missing person cases but developed an interest in them after seeing divers on YouTube finding cars and solving cases. At first I just messed around with google earth, looking into accident locations on the chance a vehicle could be visible on there, but then I started using it to map how many there were out of curiosity and I never stopped.
