GORHAM — The skeletal remains of Alberta Leeman, a Gorham woman missing since July 26, 1978, have almost certainly been located in a car that was discovered submerged in the Connecticut River near Lancaster last Friday by members of the N.H. Fish and Game Department Dive Team.

However, a positive identification cannot be made until laboratory tests have been completed.
