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.
