Hilton Head couple declared dead after missing for year and half
By Josh McCann | Island Packet
More than a year and half after John and Elizabeth Calvert disappeared, their family plans a public memorial service in Atlanta. The family also established scholarships in each of their names.
David White, Elizabeth's brother, said he hopes the service and scholarships will help the family and community honor the couple, who vanished March 3, 2008, after a meeting with a bookkeeper they suspected had stolen money from their businesses.
"Whatever has happened to them, you've got to put them to rest," White said. "We need to turn them over to God."
The Calverts owned the company that manages the Harbour Town Yacht Basin, two boating and water sports businesses and Harbour Town Resorts, which offers 125 villas for rent.
A judge declared them deceased Oct. 22 after a hearing in DeKalb County, Georgia, White said.
White said that day was one of the most difficult of his life.
