Buried Radio: KETR News Spot 06 - Feb. 24, 2021

It was around this time of year in 1991 when Carey Mae Parker
seemed to disappear without a trace from southern Hunt County.
Until three weeks ago — when a private search group located
Parker’s car upside down in a bay north of her family’s home.
Authorities lifted most of the 1980 Buick Skylark out of the
water later the same day.  


This week, forensic divers from the Texas Department of Public
Safety and others returned to Waco Bay to search for more
submerged evidence. After marking spots Monday along the White
Point Causeway on FM 751, they descended into Lake Tawakoni
yesterday (Tuesday) morning — hoping to finally locate and bring
Parker’s remains above water.  


The Hunt Co. Sheriff’s Office didn’t respond to calls and emails
about the search. But Sheriff Terry Jones told members of
Parker’s family at the lake that investigators had NOT located
human remains and were NOT planning to resume operations today
(Wednesday).
