RIDLEY PARK, Pa. — A body found in a vehicle submerged at a Philadelphia-area marina has been confirmed to be that of a man who went missing almost two years ago, authorities said Tuesday.
Delaware County officials said the county medical examiner’s office used dental records to positively identify the body as that of James Amabile. Amabile, 38, disappeared in December 2003 after calling a babysitter to tell her he was running late, his brother Stephen told The Philadelphia Inquirer. Authorities said his body was found in Ridley Creek at the Riley Township Marina, which Stephen Amabile said was just blocks from the babysitter’s home.
The sport utility vehicle and remains were located earlier this month by Adventures With Purpose after a family member reached out to the group. The organization says on its website that it has recovered more than 100 vehicles and helped solve 20 missing-persons cases since 2019.At the time of his disappearance, the newspaper reported that James Amabile wore an implanted insulin pump and could become confused and disoriented due to low blood sugar.
