The bodies of baby Holly’s parents were found in the Houston Forest in 1981, but were not identified until 2001, using DNA tests. It was then that detectives discovered that the young couple, named Tina Gail Linn and Harold Dean Clouse, had a daughter. He had not been found at the scene of the murder and has been missing ever since. The couple’s families have been searching for answers about the well-being of the Clouses and their daughter, Holly, since they were last heard in 1980. Last year, when families learned that the two bodies found in Houston were Tina and Dean Cluj, they began searching for baby Holly. Holly, now 42, was taken to an Arizona church by two women who identified themselves as members of a nomadic religious group, Texas Attorney General Cold Case and Missing Persons told reporters.

Holly met her extended biological family for the first time on Tuesday. Her grandmother, Donna Casasanta, said the news was a “birthday present from heaven”, in a statement issued by officials. “I prayed for them day by day that they would find Holly and she would be fine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Mindy Montford. We will be forever grateful,” Ms Casasanta said. The identity of the women “in white robes” who brought Holly to church all these years ago remains unknown. The family that raised Holly is not a suspect in the case, which remains open, Webster said. “We wish Holly all the best. We are grateful to have found her. But we must continue with our goal of finding out who killed this couple. As we said earlier, we can not accept questions today because this is an ongoing investigation,” he said. Webster said.
