In 2022, Holly was found alive, after two women in white robes had abandoned her in Arizona 40 years prior.
Image 1 — Dean and Tina Clouse had moved to the Lewisville, Texas area from Florida in 1980, maintaining a quiet personal life with their infant daughter, Holly Marie. By October of that year, they had ceased contact with their families. In 1981, two badly decomposed bodies were discovered in a wooded lot north of Houston, when a local man’s dog returned home from the wooded area with a decaying human arm in its mouth. This was 250 miles from the Clouses’ last known address. Dean had been bound and beaten to death, and Tina strangled. Their unidentified remains simply became known as “The Harris County Does”, and were not verified until 2021, 40 years later. The whereabouts of 1 year old Holly Marie were unknown, as her remains had never been found. Image 2 — Following the forensic identification of her parents in 2021, a nationwide search for Holly Marie Clouse was launched, with police settling on the theory that the killer or killers had abducted her following the deaths of Tina and Dean. This proved to be correct. Holly Marie Clouse, aged 42, was conclusively identified in 2022, living a quiet married life in Oklahoma. She was totally unaware of her true identity. She only knew that two barefoot, robed women had abandoned her at a church in Arizona when she was 2 years old.
