Recovery crews removed an SUV submerged in the Darby Creek at the Ridley Township Marina on Monday afternoon. It was in 24 feet of water. A piling from the dock had been driven through the hood of the car. Human remains, belonging to missing Delaware County man James Amabile, were found inside the vehicle last week. Volunteer divers with Adventures with Purpose from Oregon, who run a popular YouTube channel, used special sonar to find the vehicle. They specialize in cold case files involving vehicles and water. Amabile went missing on December 4, 2003, on his way to pick up his two children from the babysitter. The Delaware County's Medical Examiner's Office made the positive identification through dental records.
