Diane Hopson, 62, was last seen at her Van Zandt County residence on November 18, 2007. That afternoon she told her adult daughter she planned to mow the pasture and expected an acquaintance, Johnson Walter Burris, to come work on her lawn mower. Burris’s sister reported seeing him with Hopson at about 4:30 p.m., and later saw him alone at his own home about an hour after that.

When Hopson could not be reached the next day, her daughter went to the house and found signs of a violent struggle. Investigators reported a large amount of blood on the back porch and drag marks suggesting a body may have been moved into a vehicle. Hopson’s two cars, keys, purse, and cell phone were left at the scene. Neighbors heard a loud argument the night she disappeared, and Burris’s light-colored pickup was seen at the property; a search of his truck reportedly found blood in the tailgate and cab. Despite cadaver dog searches, Hopson’s body has not been recovered.

Does anyone have information about Hopson’s movements on November 18, 2007, or about vehicles seen near her home that evening?
