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.

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.

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.
