NATCHITOCHES, La. (AP) - Remains found in a submerged car this month have been confirmed as those of a woman missing for 28 years - the sister of a former CNN news anchor.
The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post on Thursday that the Louisiana State University FACES lab verified on Wednesday that the bones are those of 40-year-old Kara Enid Vaughn of Natchitoches.
Vaughn, sister of former Headline News anchor Lyn Vaughn, was reported missing on Nov. 3, 1993.
The sheriff’s office had searched murky Cane River several times without finding the car. It was found after a college student sent the sheriff’s office a picture and location of a fishing sonar scan.
Divers from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office retrieved her remains and ID cards, and then her car, on March 15.
