An Oklahoma woman vanishes while searching for her missing son and his friend

An Oklahoma woman who was last known to be searching for her missing son and his friend in the Tulsa area has now disappeared herself.

Glenda "Cookie" Parton, 80, was last seen on video with an unidentified man at a business in the Turley, Okla., area right before she disappeared, according to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. The unidentified man has been located and questioned by authorities, officials say.

Last week, the Pryor, Okla., Police Department issued a Silver Alert for Parton after her vehicle, a 2016 red Kia Rio, was found abandoned on the side of the road off Highway 75 near 56th Street North in Tulsa on Oct. 26.

On Sunday, Tulsa County Sheriff's Office detectives say human remains were discovered along a wooded area just west of Turley. Deputies told local TV station KOKI-TV that due to animals scattering the remains, it is difficult to positively identify who they belong to.

Officials told the local broadcaster that the remains could belong to any of the missing people or someone else. But as of right now, officials are waiting on the medical examiner to identify them.

A town of less than 2500 and 4 people go missing in 2 weeks? I can guarantee you the people in that town know exactly what happened, they just aren't talking. That's small town OK for you.
