Body Of Woman Missing For 25 Years Believed To Be Found On Ex-Boyfriend’s Property

A 67-year-old Texas man was arrested after authorities found human remains buried at his home that they believe belong to his ex-girlfriend, who disappeared 25 years ago.

Kimberly Langwell, 34, was last seen leaving work just after 5 p.m. on July 9, 1999.

Langwell’s car was discovered at around 10:30 p.m., abandoned at a pharmacy with her cellphone and other personal belongings inside, investigators said, but her car keys and purse were missing.

The case went cold for years, but in April, investigators said a “reliable informant” told them that Rose had killed Langwell inside his home on the night she disappeared, then buried her on his property, Beaumont’s local CBS affiliate KFDM reported , citing a probable cause affidavit.

Langwell’s daughter, Tiffani McInnis, said on Friday that she had always been convinced her mother never left Rose’s home.

“It’s hard whenever- you’ve known where your mom is this whole time and there’s nothing you can do about it,” she told KFDM after the Beaumont Police Department held a news conference Friday announcing the arrest of Rose and the recovery of the remains.

Investigators said they are still waiting on DNA results to confirm the identity of the remains, but have said they consider the cold case to be solved and are glad that Langwell’s family can finally have closure.

Langwell’s sister, Susan Lofgren Butts, thanked the show and the Beaumont
