The Martin family - parents Ken and Barbara and their three daughters, Barbara, 14; Virginia, 13; and Sue, 11 - vanished without a trace in 1958 after going on a day trip to the mountains

A car believed to belong to a family that went missing almost 70 years ago is set to be pulled from a river in Oregon, authorities have said. The Martin family vanished in December 1958 after heading to find a Christmas tree in their Ford station wagon, per The Oregonian.

After two days of dredging, a crane on Friday pulled a Ford station wagon from the Columbia River that officials believe belonged to an Oregon family who disappeared while on a trip 66 years ago to collect Christmas greenery.
