WAXAHACHIE — Police believe a body found in an abandoned farmhouse belongs to the missing elderly aunt of Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips.
The remains of Doris Phillips, 81, were found Friday night near Bardwell, about 40 miles southeast of Dallas. Phillips had disappeared from her Reagor Springs home in late July.
A 49-year-old man, who was not identified, led police to the body but has not been charged. Police hope to file charges after further investigation, according to a statement from the Ellis County Sheriff's Department.
The woman's body was taken to the medical examiner's office in Dallas for positive identification.
