Skeleton bones near Jefferson may belong to missing TWU student
Texas Rangers investigated a wooden box three feet by one foot found in a smoke house on the Carl Turner farm. The bones, likely female and about 5 feet 3 inches, were thought to match Virginia Carpenter, 21, of Texarkana, who vanished from Texas Woman's University in 1948, though authorities cautioned it is only a possibility and lab results were awaited. The farm has since been sold to Morris Smith and the ranger planned further talks with lab examiners.
