Closure Brings Peace After Lake Alan Henry Find
Vickie Smith learned the remains found at Lake Alan Henry in Garza County likely belong to her husband Aaron Smith missing since April 2005 after a boating accident. Divers and emergency crews searched for him for 15 months as she kept vigil, hoping for closure and a proper burial. The discovery came after boaters noticed a body and authorities confirmed via identification clues such as a fishing tournament arm band and a name on a license.
