The skeletal remains of two bodies – and a trove of jewelry – were pulled from a submerged car believed to belong to a Scarsdale couple that vanished 44 years ago, authorities and family said Wednesday.

The bombshell findings included a Rolex watch and diamond ring and may finally break the case of Charles and Catherine Romer, who mysteriously vanished from a Georgia Holiday Inn in April 1980, leaving speculation they may have been robbed and murdered.

Local officials made the discovery after they were finally able to pull the vehicle from a murky pond near the hotel after the car was first discovered by volunteer divers Friday.

Human remains in the car “conclusively show the bodies of two people were in the vehicle,” a Glynn County, Georgia police spokesperson Lawton Dodd said in an email to The Post.

But authorities are far from confirming the identities of the two bodies, the spokesperson said. Investigators are also seeking a VIN number from the car to see if it matches up with the Romers’ 1979 Lincoln Continental that the pair were in at the time of their disappearance.

“It’s a twisted hunk of mess,” Dodd said of the car.

Personal items, including the Rolex, diamond ring, other jewelry and a license plate bearing their initials were also found, a granddaughter of Catherine Romer, Christine Seaman Heller, said in a statement to The Post.

The family had feared at the time the couple might have been murdered and targeted for their belongings, but after speaking with investigators this week relatives said it appears their disappearance was the result of a tragic accident.

“We are grateful for the progress made and the dedication of those working on this case,” she said.

The manner of death still needs to be confirmed, police said. Dodd could not comment on what was retrieved from the car.

Another car was also found by divers with Sunshine State Sonar in the same pond, but it is unrelated to the Romers’ cold case. That car, a sedan, was driven into the water as part of a drunk driving incident several years ago and was too difficult to yank out, Dodd said.

The snowbirds, both in their mid-70s, were traveling from Florida back home to the posh Westchester County suburb when they made a pit stop at the hotel, which is now called the Royal Inn. The husband and wife registered at the hotel and unpacked some of their belongings before heading out — never to be seen again.

The two left behind a fortune of around $1 million each, according to an Associated Press article reported at the time. It’s possible Catherine Romer had jewelry on when she went missing valued in the tens of thousands of dollars.  

Both Charles and Catherine were in their second marriages after their first spouses died. 

Seaman Heller, who is one of nine granddaughters to Catherine Romer, said after years of uncertainty, the family now has some closure.

“While the investigation will take months to complete, this development offers a resolution far better than the endless questions we’ve faced for so long,” she said.
