Bodies Of Missing Texas Family Found SHERMAN, Texas - The Dallas County Medical Examiner on Sunday identified three bodies as members of a Texas family that disappeared last week. The bodies of Harold and Sue Harpst and Sue's daughter, Regina Taunton, were found Saturday behind a barn near Sherman, Texas, KXAS-TV reported. They had been missing since Jan. 15. Sue Harpst's son, Thomas Taunton, is in custody in Louisiana and has been charged with their murders based on evidence found at their home in Fannin County, Texas. It was not known how the family died. Their bodies were found behind the barn by a sheriff's deputy who was searching for Harold and Sue Harpst's missing van, according to Fannin County Sheriff Donny Foster. If Thomas Taunton agrees to sign an extradition warrant, Fannin County authorities will pick him up and bring him back to Texas. If he refuses, according to Foster, they will seek a governor's warrant.
