In the early morning hours of December 3rd 2016 a 911 call was placed reporting an abandoned 1994 Grey Oldsmobile car left on the Belmar, NJ Route 35 Bridge above the Shark River. Responding officers ran the license plate in their system and find that the belongs to a Michael Stern, so they give him a call. He answers, but he’s all the way in Florida. Police wanted to know then who had been driving the car.  He responded, my daughter, referring to his 19 year old daughter, Sarah Stern. This is her story.
