Vehicle of NJ man missing since 2016 found submerged in Atlantic City waters

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - A discovery made by a boater last week has been linked to a nearly 8-year missing persons case in Atlantic City.

Dashand Stokelin was reported missing by his family on November 23, 2016, after he was last seen on the 200 block of North Carolina Avenue.

The 36-year-old was driving a blue Subaru Legacy, according to police.

Last week, police were alerted after a boat's sonar detected what appeared to be a vehicle at the bottom of the Clam Thorofare.
