In the late 70s, a young couple set off from Florida to Texas to start their new life together. 17-year-old Tina Linn Clouse was madly in love with her new husband, Harold Dean Clouse, so she didn’t hesitate to uproot her life and move to Texas when he got a new job.
Their families were supportive, but became concerned when they started hearing from the couple less and less. Then, in October of 1980, communication stopped completely. It would take over 40 years for the Linn and Clouse families to learn what happened to Tina and Dean, but even when those answers were revealed, a huge one wasn’t: what happened to their baby?
The investigation into the murders of Holly’s biological parents, Tina and Dean Clouse, is ongoing. If you or anyone you know has information about their deaths, please contact the Texas Attorney General’s Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit at coldcaseunit@oag.texas.gov.
