It's almost been a year since Tina Pitts went missing from her Tulsa apartment. Now her family has reason to think body parts found in Pawhuska are hers.

She would have turned 44 today. Her family assumes she was killed.

"It's a happy day because it's her birthday, but she hasn't been found," her sister, Angie Pitts, said Monday. "We are praying it's her body."

Pitts said the body in Pawhuska was found five months ago when a dog brought the skull to its owner's porch. Angie Pitts said no one has claimed the body, and a gap in the teeth makes them believe it is the body of Tina Pitts.

The family is waiting on the results of a DNA test. A DNA sample was taken from Tina Pitts' mother three weeks ago.

Tulsa police spokesman Leland Ashley said Pitts' mother reported her daughter missing Nov. 8, 2006. Ashley said the mother last saw Pitts on Nov. 3.

Pitts' mother told police her daughter was supposed to baby-sit her niece but never showed, Ashley said. Pitts never answered her phone, which was not like her.

Angie Pitts said her family has an idea who killed her sister, and they hope finding her body will help police.

There is renewed hope for the family of Tulsa woman who has been missing for almost three years.

Last Thursday, 2NEWS introduced you to 77-year-old Edna Pitts, whose daughter Tina Pitts has been missing November of 2006. Everyday she gets up at 4 a.m. to bake cakes, pies and other treats to sell to people in her community, in order to raise money for the reward fund for information in her daughter's case. Since she began her efforts in November, Edna has raised over $700.

When her story aired on 2NEWS, a good samaritan was watching. Adel Nasreddine owns Israel Diamond Supply. Monday, he donated $5,000 in reward money to Edna's cause.

Nasreddine told 2NEWS, "This is going to going to be for the person who is going to give us information on finding Tina or finding whoever did anything to Tina."

He hopes the money will be enough to encourage someone to do the right thing, and come forward with information that will lead to Tina Pitts' body and bring her killer to justice.

"Hopefully other people will be motivated to action too. Because all of this means nothing if we don't find Tina", says Nasreddine.
It's a gesture that overwhelms Edna Pitts.

Tina Pitts has been missing for nearly three years, but her family still celebrates her birthday every year.

This year, it falls on Friday, but the family will gather Saturday afternoon for the celebration of Tina Pitts’ 46th birthday, her sister Angie Pitts said.

At the gathering Saturday, the family will place flowers around the picture and then release balloons, she said.

“We will say a prayer and release the balloons,” Angie Pitts said.

The family welcomes relatives of other missing people to join them, she said.

“It’s way to let people know they are not forgotten,” she said.
