Authorities are pulling submerged vehicles from the Columbia River, including a car thought to have belonged to a Portland couple who vanished in 1958 while out for a drive with their three daughters. The vehicles, including the station wagon believed to belong to Ken and Barbara Martin, were found after a yearslong search by diver Archer Mayo. The Martins never returned from a December 1958 drive to the mountains to collect Christmas greenery. The bodies of two of the couple's daughters washed up at a dam the year after they vanished. Pete Hughes, a Hood River County sheriff’s deputy, says the station wagon is encased in mud and debris, so authorities aren't certain it is the Martins'.
