A Texas woman went missing 25 years ago after leaving work. Police believe they may have located her remains.
The Beaumont Police Department stated at a press conference last week that they executed a search warrant at Kimberly Langwell’s ex-boyfriend Terry Rose’s, 67, home and discovered remains.
“The identity of the remains is being confirmed at this time,” Beaumont Assistant Police Chief Jason Plunkett said at a press conference on Friday, June 14. “However, we believe they are the remains of Kimberly Langwell.”
Langwell, 34, was last heard from at 5:30 p.m. on July 9, 1999, when she called her 15-year-old daughter Tiffani to inform her that she would be home shortly for dinner.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, Langwell stated that she intended to stop by Rose’s house before driving home. Later that night, her 1994 Nissan Altima was discovered abandoned in a pharmacy parking lot.
According to the affidavit, during the next two decades, “there has been no confirmed sightings or digital trace of Langwell, and she is presumed dead.”
Police stated in April 2024 that they received a tip from a “reliable informant.” According to the affidavit, the informant told police that Langwell was slain at Rose’s home and that Rose “buried her on the property.”
The report prompted authorities to serve an evidence search warrant on Rose’s property.
He was arrested in jail on Thursday, June 13, 2024.
“It’s been a long time coming, and I’m so very grateful to have my mother back,” Langwell’s daughter Tiffani McInnis told people.com. “Not in the way I wanted her, but to know that she’s no longer being held is a great feeling.”
