Human skeletal remains that were found in Liberty County have been identified as those of Esmeralda Paragas-Nunez, a mother of five children who's been missing since Aug. 3, 2016, authorities said.

Officials said the skeletal remains were discovered by a property owner on Aug. 28, 2016. After a two-day search, police said they were able to recover 85 percent of the skeletal remains.

The remains were tested by the Jefferson County Medical Examiner's Office and the skeletal remains' DNA were recently confirmed by the Liberty County Sheriff's Office as Paragas-Numez's.

Why did it take almost 2 years to identify her remains when she was found less than a month after going missing? :gaah:

RIP Esmeralda :rose:

Skeletal remains found in Liberty County have been identified as a woman who went missing in Houston two years ago, according to authorities.

Esmeralda Pargas, 42, vanished on Aug. 2, 2016, four weeks before authorities in northern Liberty County found a human skeleton in a vacant lot on CR 3556.

That is great news! I wonder what her motive and relationship with Esmeralda was?

This might be the woman that Esmeralda was meeting with, to make a down payment for a house. This is just my opinion, as nothing has been stated in MSM.

Interesting about the suspect...she filed a major lawsuit just 2 months later.

Humble woman sues NE Houston nightclub after 2015 shooting claims husband

The widow of a man fatally shot in the parking lot of a Northeast Houston nightclub last year is suing the establishment, per Harris County District Court records.

Humble resident Sabrina Olarosa-Garcia filed a lawsuit against Escapade Houston Corp. on Oct. 25 on behalf of the late Ruben Acosta Lozano’s children in the Harris County 190th District Court. Rubio Acosta, another child of the decedent, is also a plaintiff in the case.

Mistivon, when I first read your comment, I mistakenly thought you meant two months after Sabrina Olarosa-Garcia's arrest, but you meant 2 months after the murder of Esmeralda Pargas.

Article about the fatal shooting of Sabrina Olarosa-Garcia's husband:

It was very interesting that there were only 2 news stories about the murder of her husband, shot right in front of her. Is that lack of information common in Houston? Or is there another reason that this murder received so little attention? Am I being too suspicious?

I know this is an old case but there’s a recent update.

https://www.chron.com/news/houston-...rder-in-2016-cold-13240265.php#photo-16198577

A Houston woman was arrested Tuesday morning in the 2016 slaying of Esmeralda Pargas, whose skeletal remains were found stashed on vacant Liberty County property, according to authorities.

Sabrina Olarosa-Garcia, 41, was apprehended around 7 a.m. in Houston and charged with murder, Liberty County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Ken DeFoor said in a statement.

She is accused of killing Pargas, 42, who was last seen alive in Houston and reported missing in Aug. 2016. Property owners in the Plum Grove area of north Liberty County found the body while clearing brush from the land about four weeks after her disappearance, the Liberty County Vindicator reported at the time.

Authorities found 85 percent of Pargas’ remains at the property and she was identified through DNA testing in February.

DeFoor declined to elaborate on how Olarosa-Garcia may have known Pargas or how the victim died in the 2-year-old cold case.

Olarosa-Garcia was slated to be extradited to Liberty County but as of Tuesday night, she had not been booked into the jail.
