Human remains found at Lake Tawakoni have been identified as belonging to a northeast Texas woman who’s been missing for decades. As George Hale reports, relatives of Carey Mae Parker say investigators used D-N-A to crack the case.

Early last year, divers pulled wreckage from a 1980 Buick Skylark
out of Lake Tawakoni. They returned last fall and discovered
human remains under the debris.

Those remains have now been matched to Carey Mae Parker — a young
northeast Texas mother-of-three who went missing along with her
Buick in 1991.

Parker’s daughter Brandy Hathcock confirmed yesterday (Tuesday)
that investigators used D-N-A to identify the remains, presumed
to be Parker’s. “She’s coming home!” Hathcock wrote in a Facebook
post. Her siblings made similar announcements.

The Hunt County Sheriff’s Office didn’t immediately return calls
overnight. In October, its officers coordinated with a private
dive group to retrieve the remains — which included bones — from
the Waco Bay area of the lake. The successful volunteer effort
came months after a Texas D-P-S team abandoned searches after
just one day.
