Skeletal remains found in Oklahoma lake identified as siblings missing since 2022

Outdoorsman Eddie Carper was fishing on Pine Creek Lake in southeastern Oklahoma in October despite the dangerously low water levels when he hit what he at first thought was an old boat trailer. "It is barely visible just under the surface. It might be an old flatbed truck. I couldn’t tell for sure but it has an axle & 2 wheels. Found it with my trolling motor today. A $3,200 ... mistake!" he posted on Facebook Oct. 14. Turns out it actually was a van that was submerged just off a boat ramp. Inside were the skeletal remains of a brother and sister who went missing in 2022. "I ran into it with my boat," Carper, who lives in Valliant, told The Oklahoman. "I reported it. ... I'm just glad we found them and their kin gets closure." The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation disclosed on Thursday, Nov. 5, that the skeletal remains have been identified as Timothy Woodman and his sister, Terry Woodman. Both were living in 2022 in Wright City, records show. The small town in McCurtain County is about a 30-minute drive from where their remains were found. "Both individuals were reported missing in September of 2022
