Fisherman Finds Sunken Car in the Mississippi River in Sartell

The car found in the Mississippi River may be linked to Roy George Benn's 1967 disappearance, the only active missing person case in the area, investigators said.

  • A fisherman discovered a submerged car in the Mississippi River near Sartell on Sunday, August 10, 2025, and alerted authorities.
  • The discovery involved a 1960s-era vehicle linked by its VIN to Roy Benn, who went missing on September 25, 1967, along with his car.
  • On Wednesday, a dive team from the combined Stearns and Benton County sheriff’s offices, with assistance from local emergency personnel, located and recovered a sediment-covered vehicle from the river.
  • Authorities recovered human remains from the car early Thursday morning and plan to send them to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office for identification and cause of death determination.
  • Law enforcement agencies will process the vehicle while investigations continue to confirm its relation to Benn's nearly 58-year-old unsolved missing persons case.
