Mysterious disappearance may be solved by chance

BEAUMONT -- For nine years, Cristy Graham wondered why her husband never returned home from a business trip to Houston.

But now, instead of waiting for her husband to walk through the door of her Beaumont apartment, she is waiting for DNA test results that may finally answer her questions.

How could she have guessed that the disappearance of her 37-year-old husband, Dennis, might now be solved through a freak chance?

Dennis Graham's truck -- containing skeletal remains and his wallet -- was pulled from the deep, murky waters of a bayou under an Interstate 10 bridge about 30 miles east of Houston.

Thousands of vehicles had rumbled over the bridge that crosses Turtle Bayou in Chambers County all these years without anyone realizing Graham's truck might be submerged. That is until May 14, when a second truck flipped over the same bridge's railing and splashed into the bayou, killing the driver.

The accident led to the discovery of Graham's truck.
