Human Remains Found Inside Submerged Vehicle In Darby Creek Could Help Solve Missing Person Case From 2003

The divers who made the discovery are with an organization that helps families find missing persons for free. They’re called, “Adventures With Purpose” and say a tip led them to search the area near the marina.

Family says dive team found missing Delco man’s remains in Darby Creek after 18 years

“It’s my brother,” Amabile told The Inquirer hours later. “They found him.”

Ridley Township Police Capt. James Dougherty confirmed late Saturday night that human remains were found in the vehicle. He said the plate number matched a “missing person entry from December of 2003.” He said police were not releasing the person’s name, and that the Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office was examining the remains for “positive identification.”

Amabile said the divers told him human remains were in the driver’s seat, still buckled in with a seat belt. For Amabile, the location of the Ford Explorer in Darby Creek, just blocks from that babysitter’s home, confirms his theory. He believes his brother, who was diabetic, had a hectic day, slipped into diabetic shock, and drove straight into the creek after making a wrong turn.

“He drove right into the water,” Amabile said.

James was last seen leaving his home in Folsom, Pennsylvania between 5:00 and 5:15 pm. He was going to pick up his daughter from her babysitter's house, but he never arrived. His car, a hunter green 2002 Ford Explorer with Pennsylvania plates FLA-4785, disappeared with him and has not been found. His wife believes his diabetes may have played a role in his disappearance.

That group of divers does AMAZING work. It seems like lately they've been averaging about 1-2 persons recovered per month.
