If he lived on that street or a connecting street then you can see how he might drive right into that pond if he fell asleep (from all those drinks at the club) right before making that turn.

Good point, but why oh why didn't the police think to check the ponds years ago?

They probably looked a bit, but missing persons cases don't usually get satellite fly-bys.

I thought about that as well. I guess there are any number of answers and maybe they did check the ponds and couldn't see anything -- it was visible on google maps for 12 years and nobody spotted it so it couldn't have been that easy to see from the shore.
