| 11/17/2008 - Skeletal Remains Identified in Lewisville Cold Case Homicide |
Skeletal remains located in a field south of the Lake Lewisville dam are that of Margie Louis Dabney. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office made a positive identification after DNA obtained from one of Mrs. Dabney’s daughters matched DNA extracted from the skeletal remains in November 2007. Detectives notified Mrs. Dabney’s family of the results.
Dabney went missing from D/FW International Airport December 5, 2001. In November 2007, skeletal remains were located in a field south of the Lake Lewisville dam after a controlled burn. Detectives were unable to identify the remains at that time. In October 2008, employees of Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA) discovered personal items and clothing following a second controlled burn.

Authorities need your help in locating Herbert Perez Maldonado H/M/12/23/1970. Maldonado is wanted in the November 23, 2002 slaying of Lori Ann Mejia, 29.
Ms. Mejia`s body was found behind a mechanic`s shop in an industrial park inside the city limits of Pilot Point.at 11:00 pm. Texas Ranger Tracey Murphree stated that it appears she was violently beaten to death. Authorities obtained an arrest warrant for Herberto Perez Maldonado, 31, believed to live in the Collinsville area.
Mr. Maldonado, who sometimes uses the name Leonardo Sanchez, is not a legal resident, the Ranger said, and may be trying to leave the United States for Vera Cruz, Mexico, where he was born.
Ranger Murphree said Ms. Mejia went to an after-business-hours party at the mechanic shop with a friend. She and Maldonado left the party together and the shop’s owner found her body about 11 p.m. behind the business.
The two apparently met at the party, he said, and had not previously known each other. There was no apparent motive.
