The northeast Texas mother-of-three disappeared along with her
vehicle in early 1991. Until early last year, when a volunteer
group called Adventures With Purpose used sonar to locate her car
in Lake Tawakoni. They found human remains last October.

Parker’s children announced in late May that authorities matched
the remains to family D-N-A.

Now the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office is closing its missing
person case. It says the University of North Texas Health Science
Center for Human Identification in Fort Worth sent investigators
a report confirming the remains were those of Parker.

Adventures With Purpose founder Jared Leisek says his group is
grateful to Sheriff Terry Jones for trusting them to recover
Parker’s car and remains.

And an obituary published this week describes Parker as a
“strong-willed, free-spirited woman who enjoyed spending time on
the lake and night driving with her kiddos.”

They plan to hold a private service next week in Wills Point.
