At 9:30 a.m. this morning, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department contacted divers from Guardians for the Missing. The private organization had been looking for the car for weeks and started their search at Wilton Manors. They responded and dove to investigate at 11:35 a.m. At 11:40 a.m., detectives verified that there was a car in the bay.
The detective confirmed that the car is that of Hayden-Gordon. There is a body inside the vehicle, but they will not say whose it is. The detective asked we keep in mind that it’s “a very active scene,” but that the body does match Hayden-Gordon’s description.
Friends and neighbors are gathered around the scene right now. Some are crying, others appear calm but distraught. Hayden-Gordon’s sisters are set to fly to Fort Lauderdale later tonight.
