The volunteer search team said it worked for months with cold case detectives from Plantation Police to bring this case to a close, after the mother, her child and vehicle vanished in November of 1974.
Meanwhile, Plantation residents who live near the canal are on edge.
Piedad Caballero said she received a knock on her door Saturday from the team at Sunshine State Sonar, for permission to access the canal from her property.

"We’ve been here 20 years and we’ve been sleeping with three dead bodies there over 20 years, not knowing. Who knows how many more are in there,” Caballero told NBC6. "It's really scary."
An image shared with NBC6 shows the scene where a man's remains and a car were reportedly found in a nearby lake, in the area of 80 Wimbledon Drive.
“They laid his bones out. They had his dentures," resident Cookie Saccenti said. "It was really sad.”
Investigators have not yet confirmed this information related to the lake discovery. NBC6 has reached out to Plantation Police for more information.
