Adventures With Purpose, a nonprofit tackling cold cases, located Samantha Jean Hopper’s car from 23 years ago in Arkansas. The vehicle, submerged in eight feet of water, contained human remains, marking a crucial discovery. Samantha was on her way to drop off her daughter Courtney Holt in Little Rock but vanished with her and her blue Ford Tempo. The Pope County Sheriff’s Office expressed condolences and appreciation for contributing to solving the long-standing case. The recovered remains will undergo DNA testing at the Arkansas State Crime Lab. Samantha’s daughter, Dezarea Hopper, shared on a memorial page that her pregnant mother and 2-year-old sibling’s discovery brought relief. Adventures With Purpose noted in a statement that Samantha and her daughter have now been returned home.
