A 28-year-old woman died from injuries in a one-vehicle accident outside Forestburg on Dec. 30.

Department of Pubic Safety officials said the crash occurred at 3:15 p.m. on Farm-to-Market Road 455 near Mallard Road on Dec. 30. Katie Moore, 28, Forestburg, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban southeast on FM 455. Moore began driving on the wrong side of the road, then partially into the barrow ditch. The driver then overcorrected to the right and traveled across FM 455. The Suburban then left the roadway in a side skid, went into the barrow ditch, and rolled. The unrestrained driver was ejected from the vehicle.

The crash remains under investigation by the Texas Highway Patrol.

Moore was transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, where she was later pronounced deceased by a hospital physician on Wednesday.

Four minor children were in the vehicle and reportedly were restrained by seatbelts. They were transported to Nocona General Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries. They included a four-year-old boy, two-year-old girl, one-year-old boy and six-month old girl, all from Forestburg.

Sheriff confirms human remains found in Sunset area

Published

Montague County Sheriff Marshall Thomas has confirmed human skeletal remains were recovered on June 13 in the Sunset area, and they could possibly be those of a flight attendant believed to have been murdered almost a year ago in the Fort Worth.
The murder suspect, Dennis William Day, 66, admitted in June 2025 to strangling Rana Soluri, 47, an Envoy flight attendant who lived with Day during that last year. She was reported missing by a co-worker on June 11 and had not been seen or heard from since March 2025.
Day initially denied any involvement, but later admitted to the murder and indicated he dumped her body somewhere in the Montague County area. Lawmen have scoured the areas in questions in both Montague and Wise County, but found nothing.
Sheriff Thomas said on June 13 the SO received a call of possible skeletal remains in the Brushy Creek area north of Poss Dyer Lane on Farm-to-Market 1749. A deputy went to the scene and confirmed it was human remains.
Investigators responded and kept the scene secure overnight until staff from the University of North Texas Forensic Anthropology Center could arrive and made the recovery on June 14. A Texas Ranger and staff from the Fort Worth Police Department also were on scene.
“There is no determination made yet on how long it has been there,” said Thomas. “The anthropologist was pleased to recover most of the skeleton in these conditions. Heavy rains previously made the past searches difficult. We are working jointly with Fort Worth to make an identification and if it is the victim in their homicide.”
