A Texas couple was found dead inside their car in New Mexico after vanishing on their way home from Thanksgiving festivities, Us Weekly confirmed.

In a statement, investigators in Texas’ Carson County said Linda and Gary Lightfoot, 81 and 82, respectively, were reported missing on November 30 when they failed to return to their home in Lubbock.

The couple spent their Thanksgiving with family who live about a two-hours’ drive north in Panhandle.

Somehow, the long-married couple ended up dead in the adjacent state of New Mexico in Quay County, approximately two hours west of Panhandle.

The Texas Department of Public Safety issued a Silver Alert for the couple on Sunday and immediately launched a search for them.

They were first reported missing on November 28.
