A woman was found after she disappeared as a child in the eighties of the last decade, when her parents were killed and thrown in a forest in the US state of Texas, more than 40 years after the incident.
In the details of the story, which is more fiction than fact, Holly Marie Claus, 42, was found alive and in good health after a group of investigators in the case used "genealogy" to identify the bodies of her parents, Tina Jill Lynn Close and Harold Dean Close Jr., Texas authorities revealed.
According to Al Arabiya Net, the story began when Harold and Tina disappeared in late 1980 while they were moving from Florida to Texas, according to a report by the British newspaper, The Telegraph.
The couple were found dead in a forest in the Houston area a few months after they moved, as the father was beaten and his wife strangled to death, and the authorities indicated that investigations are still continuing to identify the perpetrators.
Authorities only recognized their remains last year, when the couple's DNA was linked to family members in Kentucky.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office made the announcement during a news conference Thursday.
Paxton revealed that Claus, who was found alive, now lives in Oklahoma and has five children.
As Texas Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster explained in a press conference, Holly "learned the identity of her biological parents and met members of her biological family for the first time on Tuesday."
He noted that she was left in a church in Arizona and grew up in a family "whose investigation is unsuspecting."
On the other hand, the police are looking for "two women who identify themselves as members of a religious group of nomads", who have placed her in this church.
The Claus family received a call in December 1980 or January 1981, from a woman who presented herself as "Sister Susan", and confirmed that the couple had joined her sect, and wanted to cut ties with the outside world and get rid of their material possessions.
She offered Harold Close's parents to take their car in exchange for a sum of money.
Harold Close's parents called the police.
When two or three women in white dresses arrived with the vehicle, the police stopped them without finding any seizure report, according to Webster, who called on the public to "help" in uncovering the circumstances.
It is reported that when the murder occurred against her parents, the infant was not found at that time anywhere and was classified as missing for decades, while the remains of the couple were not identified until last year.
When the parents' DNA was extracted by investigators, they found a match with Harold Close's cousins in Kentucky.
