CULT KIDNAP BABY FOUND 40 YRS LATER!

DNA evidence identifies gal’s slain parents & reveals her past

-

ABABY who went missing in Texas in 1980 after the brutal murder of her parents has been found alive and safe in Oklahoma!

“This is a miracle from God,” exclaims her grandmothe­r Donna Casasanta.

“Baby Holly” Clouse vanished from her home in Lewisville along with her parents, Tina and Dean Clouse. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says the couple’s corpses were discovered by authoritie­s in a “wooded area” in Houston in 1981. But they remained unidentifi­ed until last year, when law enforcemen­t used genetic testing to ID them. The killer remains unknown, but Holly’s grandmothe­r tells The National ENQUIRER investigat­ors are close to solving the cold case.

“The detectives have a lot of informatio­n and tips,” says Casasanta. “They are very close to ending it.” First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster says shortly after the couple were received a call from a woman who identified herself as “Sister Susan” and claimed Holly’s parents “joined their religious group and no longer wanted to have contact” with their relatives.

It appears Baby Holly was eventually dropped off at a church and was raised by the pastor.

“Two women who identified themselves as members of a nomadic religious group brought Holly to [a] church,” says Webster. “They were wearing white robes and they were barefoot. They indicated the beliefs of their religion included the separation of male and female members, practicing vegetarian habits and not using or wearing leather goods.”

Officials are refusing to release the names or details of Holly’s adoptive family to protect their privacy.

Meanwhile, Holly, now 42, got a chance to finally meet her biological kin online. “I was so happy to meet her for the first time,” says her aunt Cheryl Clouse. “It is such a blessing to be reassured she is all right and has had a good life.”
