Gail Schoening's Body Found in Florida Lake After 12 Years

Gail Schoening's body has finally been found at the bottom of a lake near her Florida home, twelve years after she disappeared on her way to the airport.

Gail Schoening was almost 36-years-old when she went missing in April 1997 when she was on her way to the airport to catch a flight for a job interview. Her body was still in her car. The reason she wasn't found sooner, even though police did search the bodies of water surrounding her home, was because the technology to see in poor visibility didn't exist then.

Her case was reopened in July and now her body has been found. She apparently drove through a narrow area and then went straight in to the lake where her car flipped upside down and sunk to the bottom of the lake. 

Her family is relieved that the case can be closed, even though the news is incredibly sad.

Gail Schoening had recently divorced when she went missing, and a year after she died someone called her family requesting her PIN number for her 401(K) account, but even though this was suspicious, the lead led nowhere.

Her family thought that she may have driven in to some body of water as her car was missing along with her.

A memorial service has been set for her over the Christmas period.
