Strange. The question for me is how do two cars with apparently six souls between them end up in the drink next to each other. Suicide pacts?

Supposedly they went missing several years apart. Both missed the same turn, and went in the water?

Story says lake is located in southwestern Oklahoma. My first thought was Beaver Lake. Goggle map shows Foss Lake is in west central Oklahoma.
Speed and a sharp turn?

Wonder what year they put up the guardrails? Middle 70's or so?

Wow... Strange that no one snagged a line on those cars or noted anything on a fishfinder..

These cars were found on the lake my boat is on. From what I have learned so far, they were found near the main marina. It seems they were just out from the boat put-in in about 12 feet of water.
One of the cars went missing late 50's to early 60's. The other went missing about 1970.
There is an article at foxnews.com. Other places to look for articles would be The Elk City newspaper, The Daily Oklahoman, and news channel websites for Oklahoma City.

The 69 Camaro went missing nov 20 1970.
We can rule out lake ice travel.
Very strange.
Something clever here.

Similar thing happened near my hometown. Local highway department was rebuilding a bridge and found a couple of cars with bodies in them. Both cars went missing late at night during a major snow storm, several years/decade apart. The theory is they simply slid off the road and the snow covered up their tracks.
The cars laid there until the highway divers discovered them in the mud. This is on a "major" highway in the area. Sad to think so many people went by them and never knew.
