Miami-Dade Police spokesperson Alvaro Zabaleta said that investigators have not revealed much about the case.
“In other words, we have no reasons to believe we’re going to find bodies in these cars. But who’s to say that these cars weren’t involved in an armed robbery 10 years ago?” Zabaleta said.
Doral Police Chief Edwin Lopez also spoke about the model of the first vehicle that was pulled out from the lake. He said that the first car was an Acura Legend and it was stolen in 2002. Moreover, police said that most of the vehicles that were found were old models and were covered in algae.
