HAMPTON, Iowa (AP) — Searchers found the car of an Iowa man who has been missing since 2013 and a scuba diver who was part of the search says the vehicle contained human remains. Franklin County authorities say the car belonging to Ethan Kazmerzak was found Monday in a body of water northwest of Hampton.

The Mason City Globe-Gazette reports scuba diver Jared Leisek said a coroner will have to confirm that the remains belong to Kazmerzak. Kazmerak, of Hampton, was last seen at a party in rural Franklin County on Sept. 15, 2013. He was 22 at the time.
