The Oregon-based group Adventures With Purpose located parts of
Carey Mae Parker’s car during its first search at Lake Tawakoni
in February.  


On Friday, the group might have found remains of Carey Mae Parker
herself.  


Founder Jared Leisek confirmed late Friday that his team found
human remains in a debris pile from Parker’s car near a causeway
on the lake’s Waco Bay.  


The dive group located Parker’s 1980 Buick Skylark in February
and brought parts of it to the surface. Later searches by
Department of Public Safety divers were unsuccessful, and
Leisek’s group agreed to return this fall with different
equipment.  


According to a Parker’s sister, Patricia Gager, in a Facebook
post, the divers retrieved a pelvis bone. Parker fractured her
pelvis in an accident years before she went missing in 1991. That
injury may prove useful in identifying any possible remains.
 


The Hunt County sheriff’s office didn’t immediately return calls
late Friday.  


But Leisek and Parker’s family say they’ll all be back tomorrow
to finish the search.
