(In the realm of HUH?! style news in 2014, this story about 100 cars being found by sonar imaging in the bayous around Houston, Texas was darned near the top of the charts. Perhaps more interesting or weird is the city’s stance of not removing them. Who knows how many people are in these and how many of them got there by nefarious means…or what kinds of cars they are. Classics down there? Maybe!) During a search operation back in 2012, a company called Texas Equusearch was brought in by police to help search various bayous to locate a missing woman. While they did not find the woman or her car at that time (her body was later found by authorities) what Texas Equusearch did find was more than 100, 127 to be exact, cars at the bottom of the areas that the police had them search when looking for the woman. If that’s not a big enough bombshell, the company claims that Houston police officials told them to clam up about what they found because the city didn’t have the funds to drag 127 cars from the depths of these bayous to the surface. Three years later, Texas Equusearch has released a couple of their sonar images and has come up with a plan to get the cars.
While details have not been revealed, the company said that they have contacted rental agencies that would be willing to loan equipment to the effort and that they are still working to find funding to follow through and start recovering the 100+ cars from just TWO bayous. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out that most, if not all of these cars were put there for the wrong reasons. Texas Equusearch is pretty well convinced that there are bodies in several of them (again, not too big a stretch there) and the company said that they believe at least 90% of the cars ended up in their mucky, swampy resting place after being used in, for, or during a crime of some sort. It seems kind of weird that the police wouldn’t want to at least investigate some of these vehicles further to see if they could solve some crimes or locate some missing people that have been gone forever. Remember the story from Oklahoma a year or so ago when a couple cars were pulled from a lake and they contained several bodies of people who had been missing since the 1970s? It doesn’t seem like it would be out of the realm of reason for these cars to also have some “passengers” in them.
We’re not sure about you, but when you find A FREAKING HUNDRED of something, specifically cars at the bottom of just two bayous, it should throw some massive red flags up about what’s at the bottom of the dozens (hundreds) more around the area. It is pretty creepy to think about the fact that this stuff just vanished one day and for years no one knew it was sitting right there under the serene looking water. We don’t know about you, but we’re never going to look at those little ponds and swamps along side the highway or secondary roads the same ever again.

Maybe somebody already knows what at least some of those cars are and what passengers might be in them.
Somebody knows something but they aint speaking. It’s neat to know there are 100s of cars under the surface but it must be a little sad to think that there are bodies in those cars for which family has waited on their return. Does make you wonder what the road looks like leading up to this area. I wonder how many were actually accidents, murder and insurance fraud? Speculation is the Devils tongue.
… Not to mention the ecological damage those cars are doing to the environment, sitting there rusting, deteriorating and leaking antifreeze, motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid…etc into the water. Authorities could also try to get funding from ecological preservation organizations to contribute to the extraction of these tombs … That is if solving missing person or homicide cases does not serve as legitimate enough of a reason….
