For Immediate Release:

The Atlantic City Police Department is investigating the
recovery of a vehicle that has been missing since November 2016 along with the
driver.
Dashand Stokelin was reported missing by his family on
November 23, 2016. Stokelin, 36, of Atlantic
City, was last seen in the early morning in the 200 block of North Carolina
Avenue. He was driving a 2016 blue
Subaru Legacy.
This week, a boat operator was navigating through Clam
Thorofare when he noticed what appeared to be a vehicle on the floor of the
water through his sonar. The operator
alerted law enforcement and a diving operation was commenced the next day by
the Brigantine Fire Department Dive Team.
Divers were able to locate a vehicle and determined that it had been
there for an extended period of time.
On October 2, the New Jersey State Police and Iaconelli
Construction removed the vehicle from the water. The vehicle has been identified as the one
being operated by Stokelin on the morning of his disappearance. Detectives have conducted a search of the
vehicle which did not yield any human remains.
