Short story:

Lela and Raymond Howard, an elderly couple in Salado, Texas, USA, leave home in their maroon Oldsmobile Delta 88, to attend the Pioneer Days Festival, fifteen miles away in Temple. They never return. Two weeks later their bodies and the car are found at the bottom of a 25-foot cliff. The 1998 hit song The Way by Fastball will be inspired by their story.
