Man found driving vehicle of woman who's been missing for 2 weeks out of Missouri City, police say
MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) — Police in Missouri City are looking to identify a suspect in the mysterious disappearance of a 61-year-old woman.
Karen Miles was last seen on Aug. 21 but was not officially reported missing to police until Aug. 29.
“She’s a part of so many organizations. She gives so much, she’s constantly volunteering,” Danessa Bolling, Miles’ friend, said.
Loved ones say Miles’ worker bee way and the fact that her kids live out of town are likely why she went missing without anyone immediately noticing.
“(She) is light, and so, this feels dark because we don’t know where she is,” Bolling said.
Bolling and Miles go way back. They are both members of the same church and the Order of the Eastern Star, a co-ed fraternal organization.
“We just want Karen home,” Bolling said.
According to Missouri City police, Miles was last seen on Aug. 21 somewhere near the Beltway and Highway 90. However, her disappearance was reported to police eight days later.
“I am already accepting that she is gone, and I am trying to deal with that,” Patricia Evans, Miles’ oldest sister, said.
Evans fears the worst for her diabetic sister, who she said needs three insulin shots a day or else she could slip into a coma.
“It’s just been too long,” Evans said.
Miles’ car may be investigators’ biggest lead at the moment. Her Ford Explorer was found in Pearland on Aug. 25.
Police say a Flock camera picked up Davante Clark driving the car with stolen plates from Arkansas.
The car was later found at 2805 Business Center in the H-E-B parking lot. Pearland police told ABC13 they waited for Clark to leave the parking lot before performing a traffic stop.
Miles’ family said they’d never seen Clark before.
“The car will hopefully lead us to some answers. It’s also honestly very scary because we have the car, but we don’t have Karen,” Bolling said.
At the time of his arrest in Pearland, Clark was a fugitive according to court documents. He’s facing charges for evading arrest in Harris County and now Brazoria County.
However, none are related to Miles’ disappearance. Clark allegedly told investigators he doesn’t know her.
“How, who, why? It makes no sense,” Bolling said.

A fundraiser on Friday helped raise money for a mid-Missouri family’s effort to get their daughter medical treatment.
Hurts Donut from Springfield, Mo., traveled to Ashland to help the Kroeckel family raise money for their daughter, Harper’s, life-changing medical treatment in Italy.
“After exhausting available treatment options in the United States, the family is now pursuing specialized care that offers new hope for her future,” wrote the Hurts Donut shop in a press release. “Because the treatment, travel expenses and extended medical stays are not covered by insurance, the family is facing more than $85,000 in out-of-pocket costs.”
Harper had been born prematurely at 35 weeks and admitted to the NICU, where a nurse discovered a spot that they assumed to be diaper rash on her bottom. However, further inspection led to her diagnosis of Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation, or CM-AVM.
CM-AVM is a genetic mutation at the cellular level that causes blood vessels in certain areas to be tangled, causing swelling, pressure, chronic pain and, in some instances, bleeding. In Harper’s case, it could potentially spread to her spine or brain.
The donut shop set up shop at the Ashland Optimists Club and donated 100% of its Special Tribute donut sales to the Kroeckel family, as well as 10% of the proceeds from its dozen donut sales.

UPDATE: Well-known mid-Missouri attorney charged after sting expected to request home detention | 93.9 The Eagle
A prominent mid-Misssouri attorney has pleaded NOT guilty to a felony charge of enticement or attempted enticement of a child.
56-year-old Daniel Walter Follett is charged in Boone County Circuit Court. He had served as the Missouri Department of Revenue’s (DOR) general counsel until he was fired after last week’s arrest.
Court documents filed by Boone County prosecutors say Follett was allegedly using a prostitution website “to solicit sexual services from a person whom he believed to be a 16-year-old child.” The Boone County Sheriff’s Department’s probable cause statement says Follett allegedly arrived at an address in Boone County last week to pay money to have sex with a female whom he believed was under the age of 17.
Follett, who is currently jailed without bond, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon before Judge Kimberly Shaw and is expected to request home detention, based on online court records.
939 the Eagle News contacted the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) after Follett’s arrest. DOR released a statement about Follett’s arrest and status last week. It reads: “The Department is aware of an out-of-office incident involving a staff member who was arrested and charged with criminal activity. Following departmental procedures, employment has been terminated with the individual.”
What’s next: Follett is scheduled to appear in Boone County Circuit Court on Tuesday at 1 pm for a bond hearing before Judge Kimberly Shaw. Follett is represented by defense attorney Jessica Caldera, a former Boone County assistant prosecutor. Follett is expected to request home detention from the court until his trial. Boone County prosecutors have described Follett in a court filing as a flight risk.
