A missing child of a murdered couple has been discovered alive, 42 years after she and her parents inexplicably vanished.
Harold Dean Clouse drove his mother’s automobile from Florida to Texas with his wife Tina and their little daughter, Holly Marie, in 1980.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Clouse’s mother, Donna Casasanta, has spent the last 40 years looking for answers in their case.
Clouse and his wife’s remains, recovered in early 1981, were positively identified in October 2021. Holly Marie, however, was never located.
But then the three vanished.
Finally, this week, investigators found Holly Marie alive and well, living in Oklahoma after using an online ancestry site to track down her down using DNA.
But questions remain about her parents’ disappearance.
CULT TIES
Casasanta often received letters from her son after he moved to Texas from Florida with his wife and daughter.
But the letters stopped abruptly in October 1980.
Months after the couple and their daughter disappeared, Casasanta received an anonymous phone call from someone claiming to have found the family’s car out in California.
