Bernadine Gunner, 52, disappeared from her Camden, New Jersey home and was last seen on July 11, 2010. She left driving a blue four-door 2006 Hyundai Elantra and was described as about 5 feet tall, 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time, family members reported she’d been struggling with depression, had voiced despair about finding work, and had made statements about taking her own life.

For nearly fourteen years there was no sign of Bernadine or her vehicle. In spring 2024 a search group working the Cooper River in Pennsauken located three submerged cars; in May 2024 one of those vehicles, a Hyundai, was recovered and contained human remains plus personal effects suggesting the car belonged to Bernadine. The remains were sent for forensic testing and in April 2025 DNA analysis confirmed the identification as Bernadine Gunner. The official cause of death has not been determined and it remains unclear how the car came to be in the river.

If anyone knew Bernadine’s routines, places she frequented, or has information about the 2006 Hyundai Elantra before July 11, 2010, please share what you know.
