JCPD closes investigation into car found in Binder Lake

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Jefferson City Police Department says the investigation into a vehicle found in Binder Lake earlier this month has been closed.

Lt. Curtis Finke with JCPD said the vehicle was a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with license plates that expired in 1997.

"It was submerged in the water for quite some time, at least over 10 years," Finke said. "We did our follow-up investigation, and it did not turn up any active criminal investigations. We have followed up with the owner of the vehicle, and we have since closed our case of additional information."

Finke said no charges will be filed.

"It's really just treated as a property crime that we investigated," Finke said. "It all kind of dead-ended with no active criminal investigation, nothing that's going to require any further follow-up or assistance, even by the owner that requested, any further from us."

ABC 17 News has requested documents related to the investigation.
