BEAUMONT, Texas — Beaumont Police and the FBI are continuing to search a Beaumont home and adjacent business as part of a 25-year-old cold case involving a Beaumont woman who disappeared in 1999.
On Thursday FBI agents and police began breaking up concrete and digging up the driveway of a home on Lindbergh as they continued to search the property.
The FBI joined police in the search on Tuesday morning and brought in ground penetrating radar and cadaver dogs to assist in the search according to Beaumont Police on Tuesday morning. No other new information was released.
Police say recent developments in the 1999 disappearance of Kimberly Langwell have led detectives to execute a search warrant at a home in the 1600 block of Lindbergh Dr., according to a news release from the Beaumont Police Department.
Acting on new information, Beaumont Police, along with several assisting agencies, began searching the home and an adjacent business, Terry's Wrecker Service, Monday morning and say they hope to find evidence that help bring resolution to the 1999 case.
Police say they can not release specifics at this time but feel the search could provide "significant breakthroughs" in the case. Police say they will release more details as the case progresses.
The search warrant, which was signed by Jefferson County Criminal District Judge John Stevens, remains sealed.
Officers searched property owned by Terry Rose, who had dated Langwell before she went missing, his family told 12News on Monday. Rose had previously consented to the search in April his family told 12News.
Langwell, who was 34-years-old at the time, was last seen July 10, 1999, according to file stories. Her car was found abandoned in the parking lot at the Phelan Shopping Center on Dowlen Rd with her mobile phone in the car but her keys and purse were missing.
Her case was recently featured on an episode of Cold Justice on the Oxygen Network.
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
