Do you mean it's probably rusted away to chuff all?
Well that's 1 option. Other option giving that my brother used to do a lot of police recovery work, is that it was destroyed due to it been a biological hazard. HSE won't allow motors that are heavily blood soaked to be released for sale, due to the risk of infection.
He's had to torch cars in the yard before they could be sent to the scrapyard.
