Cantrell was 40 years old when she went missing. It is thought that she left her job at the McAlester Regional Health Center at 11:56 a.m. on January 20, 2017, to go to lunch.
Surveillance footage from the hospital showed Cantrell getting into a green car with a short wheelbase while wearing green scrubs, according to the police.
Who killed Holly Cantrell and made her go missing?
After the remains were found, a murder investigation would begin to find out what happened to Holly Cantrell. Even though they didn’t have a lot of information, the sheriff of Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, said that they were going to make an arrest soon.
He said, “We want to do everything we can to solve it and make sure Holly’s family gets what’s coming to them.”
Even though Cody and Tommy had been helpful and were thought to be people of interest when Holly went missing, there was no evidence at the time that they had taken her.
No one has been charged with Holly’s death yet, and the investigation is still going on.
The detectives started going through the security camera footage from the hospital. Around 11:56 AM, Holly was seen leaving. She went into the parking lot and got into a green pickup truck with another person.
She was wearing green scrubs to the hospital at the time. According to a different story, she was later seen at about 12:20 in a nearby restaurant. After that, Holly was never seen again.
The body of missing girl Holly Cantrell was found
A hunter found a purse on February 25, 2017, near Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma. This was about 12 miles from where Holly Cantrell was last seen.
This new information gave the investigation a possible lead. The police were able to figure out that the purse was hers because they found her ID inside.
But other than the purse itself, it didn’t have much new information that the police could use. Before anything else happened in the case, almost a year had passed.
In February 2018, a rabbit hunter found the bones of a person about 1.5 miles from where the purse was found. There were a lot of human bones spread out over a large area.
A piece of a skull, a bra, and what looked like pieces of green clothing were found.
