Family takes a photo. Mom calls the cops after seeing this detail the value of all living things and do not feel any connection or emotion in regards to their fellow beings. Perhaps they grew up without anyone to show properly regard to them. All they have to give the world is their anger. The only thing they’re able to create in their ineffectual realities is absence and loss and pain.
Perhaps they were spoiled but emotionally neglected and so only see people as what serves them and therefore only what they have to serve as value. There are a few facts about us that you should consider first. We have two forward facing eyes giving us depth perception. This is generally considered a trait for a predator. Something that eats stationary plants can’t just keep itching forward until they get there.
predator has to know when it is appropriate to break stride and claw at the target. This takes depth perception. Prey has more use for a wide field of vision and this is why they have side facing eyes. They can see predators coming, but at the cost of being unaware of how far away they are in when running for your life.
How far away doesn’t matter, only where they’re coming from and are they still in pursuit. The murders of missing baby Holly’s parents 40 years ago went completely known to the rest of her biological family because a mysterious group of religious women in white robes told them the trio had joined a cult and didn’t want to be found. DailyMail.com can reveal Holly was miraculously found alive in Oklahoma 40 years after going missing.
Her parents were Harold Dean Klaus and Tina Gail Lynn who were brutally murdered in 1980 in Houston, Texas but whose bodies went unidentified until last year. Holly is now in touch with her biological aunts and uncles who thought for years she and her parents didn’t want to be reached or found.
The extraordinary sequence of events began when Harold, Tina and Holly, then a baby, moved from Florida to Texas for his job in the early 1980s. The last time their relatives heard from them was in a letter in late 1980. A few months later, Harold’s mother Donna Cassante received a phone call from a woman in California who said she had the car that she had given her son to move to Texas with.
The woman called herself Sister Susan and offered to drive it back to Florida in exchange for $1,000. Once she was there, she told Donna that Harold, Tina and baby Holly were all alive and well but had joined a religious cult and didn’t want to be contacted. Apparently Harold Dean was a free spirit and had at one time joined a cult before marrying Tina so the family believed the story about him joining the cult and not wanting to contact them.
Also, like I mentioned before, they used Jed match and ancestry to find out who the parents were. But they do say it was good old fashioned police work that led them to Holly. I’m going to guess they got a hold of her adoption records. Baby Holly girl found 40 years after parents murder looks just like mom grandma.
The grandmother of a baby who went missing for more than four decades following the gruesome murder of her parents, said the child, now a mother in her 40s, reminds her of her late daughter in law. She looks a lot like her mother. Got her mother’s soft voice. She’s got her mother’s voice to the T, baby Holly’s overjoyed grandmother Donna Cassanta told The Independent.
She also has a lot of Klaus in her. She looks a lot like some of my sons and her great aunt. More than four decades ago, a pair of newlyweds were discovered murdered and dumped in a Texas forest near Houston while their newborn daughter was nowhere to be found. Now, thanks to the latest DNA technology and ancestry records, baby Holly Marie Klaus, now a 42 year old woman and a mother of five, has been located in Oklahoma.
The Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday. The remains of slain parents Harold Dean Klaus and Tina Gale Klaus, who disappeared in late 1980, were identified just last year by online sleuths using UpToDate genealogical records, though Holly’s whereabouts were still yet unknown. When Cassandra, Harold’s mother, learned that the body of her late son had finally been identified, she told The Independent that she fell to pieces.
So when her daughter Debbie called to share that Holly had been found alive, cassandra couldn’t help but expect the worst. Please, Debbie, I can’t. No bad news, huh, honey? I just can’t. No more. Just this week, the grieving great grandmother finally received a long awaited phone call about baby Holly.
She was alive. I was overwhelmed, Cassandra told The Independent. I was crying for joy because we’ve all been praying that we would find her and she would be okay, and she’d had a family that took care of her and raised her proper. We were very glad for that. After being missing for 42 years, Holly Marie Klaus was found alive and well, having been adopted as a child, hopefully for Holly DNA project.
Cassandra learned that Holly had been adopted by a gracious family all those years ago after being left on the steps of an Arizona church. On Tuesday, June 7, the police informed Holly of her own identity, and she was reunited with her estranged family via Zoom on the day her deceased father would have been 63 years old.
Finding Holly is a birthday present from heaven since we found her on Junior’s birthday, Cassandra said, referring to her son Harold as Junior in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. I prayed for more than 40 years for answers, and the Lord has revealed some of it, Cassandra told The Independent. For the first time in 42 years, I was able to come home and go to bed that night and actually slept all night.
I hadn’t slept the whole night in 42 years, and that’s the truth. According to Harold’s family, he was always a troublemaker, whether it was running away to join a cult, disappearing for weeks at a time or picking up random hitchhikers. Adventure and spontaneity seemed to run in his blood. After marrying Tina and having Holly, harold told his mum he was leaving for Texas with the hopes of more money to provide for his family.
She received letters from her son throughout the family’s travels until October of 1980, when they abruptly stopped. At the time, she didn’t know why they halted so suddenly, but one day she received an odd anonymous call. A few months later, on the other end of the line, a man in California claimed to have found the couple’s car.
Then, late at night at the Daytona speed track, three women, all in white robes, met Cassandra, and one dubbed sister Susan informed her Harold was a member of a cult and had ditched his worldly possessions, claiming he wanted a clean slate away from his family and other life. That was weird, Cassandra told the Chronicle. We really got frightened, and we started searching and searching.
In January 1981, a dog stumbled upon unidentifiable human remains in a Houston forest. Harold had been beaten to death while Tina had been strangled. Yet the homicide was a strange mystery until they were identified by the team in 2021. With the help of the two genetic genealogists, a key piece to the DNA puzzle was discovered via a clue on GEDmatch.com, a genetic match.
They contacted Debbie Brooks, Harold sister in Kentucky, and unearthed the couple’s long unknown identities. But it was Brooks who reignited the hunt for Holly, asking the case’s team if they had found the missing infant, whom scientists were previously unaware of. Unfortunately, the family never got any answers until now. After finally being able to reunite with Holly, I dreamed about her and my sister Tina last night, Sherry Lynn Green, Holly’s aunt, told the Chronicle.
In my dream, Tina was laying on the floor, rolling around and laughing and playing with Holly like I saw them do many times before when they lived with me prior to moving to Texas. I believe Tina is finally resting in peace. Knowing Holly is reunited with her family, she continued. I’m personally so relieved to know Holly is alive and well and was well cared for, but also torn up by it all.
The baby was her life. Leslie Lynn, Holly’s uncle, told the outlet that the first thing he thought of when he heard the news was the information he got about his sister’s death just eight months prior. The juxtaposition of that call with Holly’s sudden discovery just popped into my head.
To go from hoping to find her to suddenly meeting her less than eight months later, how miraculous is that? He said. It’s such a blessing to be reassured that Holly is all right and has had a good life. The whole family slept well last night, said Sherry Klaus, Holly’s aunt, in a statement to the Chronicle. Misty Gillis and Identifiers international contractor and one of the genetic genealogists who worked the case, said she cried, not believing how much Holly resembled her late mother.
It was extremely surreal, said Alison Peacock of FHD forensics, who served as the other genetic genealogist on the case. To see her, to see what she looks like, to see her mother reflected in her face. But even with the discovery of Holly, the case still isn’t cracked. Because the baby was given up for adoption. The question remains of who exactly gave her up and if the couple really joined a cult.
