Car of Missing Man Pulled From Water 45 Years Later

This 1974 Ford Pinto belonged to Kyle Clinkscales, 22, who has been missing for 45 years. A 911 caller alerted police to a creek where the caller somehow discovered the car. Inside, Clinkscales’ wallet was found and his possible remains. Investigators say in 1976, Clinkscales was driving from LeGrange, Georgia, to Auburn University in Alabama where he was a student. He never showed up. Inside Edition Digital’s Leigh Scheps has more.

I started tearing up, when I heard both his parents passed not having closure where their kid went.

His poor mother, passing away without knowing where your child is must be such an emotional horror show. Hope he is forever at peace.

His poor family, they waited that long for answers that never came for 45 years... 😔💔🙏

Its so sad how cases go cold and remain unsolved. I hope everyone who was ever attacked or murdered get justice in some shape of form.

There’s nothing quite like a cold case being solved after so many decades of wondering. I hope his family can finally get some closure.

Rest in Peace Kyle. So sad, his parents already passed away

[Funny_jokeman]

I feel so bad for the parent I couldn’t bare the feeling of not knowing where your son is for 45 years may he rest on peace

Anyone else notice that there’s been a lot of cases being solved like to is lately? Seems like there’s been a spike in cases getting solved years later.

My heart goes out to Kyle's friends and any family he has . So terrible that his parents couldn't get closure .

[nicatina]

It's awful that his parents never got the closure about what happened to their son after they passed away, I hope they're all reunited in the afterlife.

My uncle had a Pinto. I'm glad he was found so he can be laid to rest with his parents. So sorry they passed without answers. I hope they can all rest in peace now.

So sad his parents never got that closure. I hope he has siblings or close relatives who can honour his memory. RIP

[crystalrusmisel]

He was a good looking young man with a gorgeous smile and a bright future. Glad they found him. Rip

[ilovenettspend]

45 years of pain. I can’t imagine how his friends and family feel now

[chriscourson]

My uncle went to school with him in 1976 at Auburn! So glad they found him!

[sevenclipclop]

That was a cool car. They found you finally, R.I.P.

[billkuhl]

That's so sad that the parents passed away not knowing what happened

[coolcloud]

His poor parents. They died never knowing what happened to their son. I’m glad they’re all together now. May they all Rest In Peace. ❤️🙏🏼

RIP Kyle. Answers that never came for 45 years. Crazy that it took that long. His mother only died earlier this year, just before.
