I am Carey's sister and have started a Facebook page for her. This link was posted to Facebook under her flyer. First off, i would like to say thank you so much for starting this thread. I will do my best to answer anything I can, but unfortunately, most of what I know has been hearsay. The facebook page is
https://www.facebook.com/HelpFindCareyParker. The "official" missing person's report was actually filed in May of 2010 after we learned one was never done.
I am copying and pasting what I know and have posted on the Facebook page.
Unfortunately, Carey’s disappearance is a bit more complicated than most because most of the information we have is secondhand hearsay. I am Carey’s sister and had just came back from Houston in January 1991, pregnant with my son. My father gave me a place to stay since I had nowhere to go after returning from Houston. Carey disappeared in March 1991. I hadn’t been back long so I had no idea who any of her friends were, and I only recall two times I ever actually physically went anywhere with her between January and March. I know she worked the night shift at Flanders Precisionaire in Terrell. She had broken up with her live in boyfriend of several years, William Cody Songer, shortly before her disappearance. I do not recall the timeframe, but it was not long before she disappeared. She had three children, but none belonged to Cody. My father was taking care of two of the children while she sorted out her recent breakup and got things together. The other child was living with her biological father until his death 8 months after my sister disappeared. I heard Carey was staying with friends in Quinlan and their last name was Cotton. My father was a volunteer firefighter with Rolling Oaks and Waco Bay fire departments so he knew a few people. One of those people he considered a good friend was a Constable, and is now deceased. My father says he confided with the Constable that Carey was missing. The Constable promised my father he would make sure a missing persons report was filed on Carey. Meanwhile, I went to the Terrell Police dept. and filed a report. I thought it was a missing persons report, but after never hearing anything and inquiring a couple years ago we discovered the report I thought was a missing person in Terrell was only a welfare check, where they went to her job and asked questions, but didn’t find anything. My father says he ended up receiving a phone call to “back off the search for Carey or he and her kids would end up just like her.” I still don’t know who the caller was, but I know my father was scared enough that he ended up purchasing additional burial plots for each of her kids. I didn’t know this additional detail until recently, but I knew he had purchased the plots for them. Several years ago (2010) I made some calls and discovered there was never a missing report made on Carey. As soon as we learned this news we filed the report to Hunt County Sheriff’s office where it has not really gone anywhere. The family has continued to stay on top of it over the last few months because otherwise it appears nothing gets accomplished. As of today, December 7, 2012, to my knowledge William Cody Songer has never been questioned. He never inquired where she went or what happened to her. I continue to push and research every avenue I can possibly think of to find answers to where she is. Our family has come to the realization that after 21 and ¾ years of no contact and the death of our mother as well as the father of one of the children, no discovery of her 1980 Buick Skylark, her last paycheck being mailed to my father’s house, as well as her car registration and DL, she is not alive. Folks don’t just up and leave their kids, money and important documents with no trace of them or their vehicle. With the original missing person’s report never being filed and my father being threatened, this is the reason nobody has heard of her case before. This has been very difficult for not only all family members, but especially me as I work tirelessly day after day to give Carey a voice which was never previously heard. I push each and every day and each day I find a new discovery of databases and things she should be entered in, but had no idea about it. There is no book on this and I have been learning as I go through tears and heartbreak. There have been DNA samples given from immediate relatives. She was entered into NamUS on November 27th, but it has not been approved to date. Hopefully, it will be put through next week. Everything has to be pushed; it does not happen on its own. At least that has been my experience. My family misses me dreadfully and would like to know where I am. Won't you help me go home, please?
