Authorities say they have recovered the remains of a missing Central California woman, closing a decade-old mystery that sent her husband to prison for life.
The Fresno Bee reported Wednesday that the remains of Hanford woman, Debbie Hawk, had been found in a field. She disappeared in 2006 and her husband, David Hawk, was later convicted of her murder and embezzling a $300,000 trust fund set up for the couple's three children.
Debbie Hawk, a pharmaceutical representative, was age 46 at the time.

Authorities say a farmworker irrigating a Central California field stumbled across the remains on Friday.
David Hawk remains at Corcoran State Prison.
