Benita Tamake Woody: The McKinney Record
Reported observation and later vehicle information require separate checks.
Abstract
Texas DPS lists August 5, 2020 as Benita Tamake Woody’s Last Seen on date in McKinney (Collin), case M2011006.1
Record Dates
Its November 16, 2020 picture-update field does not date a new observation.1
NamUs MP73068 lists August 5 as Date of Last Contact and McKinney Police case 20-006216, with August 14, 2020 in its Date Reported field.2
Its narrative describes Woody as last seen in a gray 2007 GMC Yukon.2

Later Vehicle Information
NamUs’s public circumstances note places the vehicle near mile marker 113 on westbound I-40; its vehicle comment instead says mile marker 118.2
The note also attributes a Canadian County cell-tower registration to McKinney detectives.2
These entries give no dates for the vehicle location or phone registration. They are not a confirmed account of Woody’s movements.2
Can you find a public recovery record that clarifies the mile marker?2
