SOLVED: We Found Their Moms Car 30 Years Later... (Carey Mae Parker COLD CASE)

We found 23-year-old Carey Mae Parker's (mother of three) car underwater, solving the mysterious disappearance of what happened to Carey, and why she never arrived at her son Brian's birthday party 30-years ago in Hawk Cove, Texas.

Carey Mae Parker
Missing Since: 03/17/1991
Missing From: Quinlan, Texas
Sex: Female
Race: White
Date of Birth: 05/12/1967 (53)
Age: 23 years old
Height and Weight: 5'7 - 5'10, 115 - 125 pounds

Distinguishing Characteristics
Caucasian female. Brown hair, blue eyes. Parker has an indentation on the side of her calf due to an accident, and scars on her left arm from an injury caused by a broken window. She has previously broken her pelvis and chipped her tailbone. Parker may wear eyeglasses. Her ears are pierced.

Details of Disappearance
Parker was last seen in Quinlan, Texas on March 17, 1991. She was driving a blue and gray 1980 or 1981 Buick Skylark with Texas license plates at the time of her disappearance. She has never been heard from again.

At the time she went missing, Parker lived with friends in Quinlan and worked the night shift at Flanders PrecisionAire, an air conditioning company in Terrell, Texas. She has three children, all of whom were under the age of six in 1991. She disappeared only a few days before her son's birthday, and she had been planning a party for him. Parker left her last paycheck behind, and it was eventually mailed to her father's house. There hasn't been any activity on her driver's license since 1991.

When Parker's father found out she was missing, he told a friend who was a police constable, and the constable promised to file a missing person report. Parker's sister also attempted to file a report with the Terrell Police Department, but the police logged it as a welfare check and not a missing persons report. It wasn't until 2010 that Parker's family found out no missing person report had ever been filed. Her sister then filed a second police report with the Hunt County Sheriff's Office.

In February 2021, almost 30-years after Parker disappeared, we found her vehicle submerged, upside down, in fifteen feet of water in Lake Tawakoni off the 751 causeway.

We worked with the Hunt County Sheriffs Office and were only able to recover half the car.

The car pulled apart due to its age being underwater for so long, and no human remains were found inside that evening.

Weeks later, another underwater investigation team led by the state went in to investigate and authorities hoped to uncover more evidence. Nothing was found at that time.

Our team here at AWP believes a proper and thorough investigation was not conducted. As such, we have plans to return in September to finish removing Carey's car and do a proper forensics search for any human remains in the area.

Parker's family believes she's deceased and now has the answers they have been seeking for the past 30 years.

The fact that her son found that smurf sticker.... he put it there for himself when he was a kid. And his mama kept it there all those years for him to find to know she didn’t abandon him on his birthday. Jared, what you guys do is nothing short of amazing. Thank you.

[johnelliott]

As an ex-towtruck driver of 25 plus years I have seen a lot of fatalities, watching you guys helping families to find lost loved ones always brings a tear to my eyes, you are all amazing people,

[soccermommyNPC]

I read the title, “30 years ago” and thought 1970s. I’m not sure I’ll ever mentally adjust as decades pass by. Thank you for the work you all do.

Carey's remains were found on October 16th. AWP returned and did a grid search of the area.
This teams commitment is leagues above everyone else's!

[mesquitemagic]

This breaks my heart. For thirty years her kids thought she may have abandoned them... I'm glad you could help them out.

(Posted by Rick Pickell) These guys started off just cleaning up their environment in their back yard. Now they have become a group with a most honorable mission.

Watching these breaks my heart. My son died this way on Dec 28th 2019. Luckily someone saw his truck upside down in the water. I keep thinking omg what if someone had not seen his truck. I might would have never found out what happened to my son. We dont know how or what caused the wreck but i was told he was unconscious & thats why he drowned. His seatbelt was still on. His front window was burst out so he had a way to get out had he been conscious. Oh how my heart aches for him every day. I thank AWP for doing what they do for these grieving families ! May God bless them !

[Hi-blrm]

Imagine being a little kid and your mother doesn’t show up for your birthday 😞. You never see her again. How sad so so sad. Heart breaking. Those balloons were no coincidence ❤️.

[bendall]

Thank you for doing this for her family. I've watched for years as her sister never gave up. She followed every tip, turned over every rock and shook every bush to find Carey. God bless her, her family and AWP. RIP Carey

[JC-zkbc]

She was definitely letting her kid know she didnt intentionally miss his birthday & never has missed it ❤

[LM]

She showed you where she was with the balloons. Don't feel defeated. She spoke and you listened, that's all you needed to do. RIP Carey.

[LiveLoveLaugh]

I just read through her case. I can't believe no one filed a missing person's report till 2010! Her dad supposedly called a friend in the sheriff's department but a case was never filed. So the sister was accurate in saying no one was looking for her sister. What a mess.

[topherjoe]

Nothing short of remarkable, a psychic says she is in water, family found you to help, the wind kicks up out of nowhere making you abandon the search to go to a calmer place that she was most likely to have traveled and the balloons found their way to the spot she where she passed. Bless you, all things where in place in the universe for her to be found.

[Crystaladdams]

The balloons marking the location gave me goosebumps, but the fact the smurf sticker was found.. 30 years later, still stuck to the one piece of the car they could get apart.. Truly shows how strong a mothers love is ❤

[muhammadaksan]

Why people dislike his videos?
He and his team is doing such a great job for free.

[alicecuriosityoftenleadsto]

Imagine the trauma these children have gone through their whole childhoods, wondering if their Mother abandoned them, on the boys birthday.
When really she was headed to him with a new bike and got into a tragic accident.
I'm so glad they know now but it would have been so much better if they had known growing up.

[iceystars]

My father passed 3 days before my birthday. On my birthday I was coming home from a “cheer you up” birthday lunch and a yellow balloon floated down and landed in the front yard as we were walking to the door. It was the most surreal experience of my life. This was absolutely a sign from the mom.

[rubynz]

Beautifully, respectfully edited, Dan. What a tough one for all of you.
