Natzke’s former boss, Hot Springs Village Police Chief Laroy Cornett told “Our missing person’s case has evolved into a homicide,”.

Natzke was last seen leaving a Christmas party on December 21st and reported missing when she failed to show up to work on December 23rd.  She left the party with her boyfriend Kevin Duck, who said he and Natzke had gone to bed that evening at her home and when he woke up she was gone. The gated community that Natzke lived in was not equipped with surveillance cameras.

Natzke was found 5 miles into the wilderness from where her burned out car had been found right after her disappearance.

Police visited Natzke’s older sister and mother on Tuesday to tell them that a body had been found in the wilderness and they were waiting for confirmation that the body was their loved one.

“It was a formality anyway,” Vicki Hegyi, Natzke’s sister said. “We knew it was Dawna.”

Dozens of Facebook pages have been started in order to find the killer.  Hundreds of people have already joined them and everyone is just hoping they will bring the perpetrators to justice.

“There is at least one person who knows what happened and many more who, without realizing it, have the information needed to `crack this case” one of the pages said.

Natzke is survived by her three children, her sister and mother.

A family in Texas was killed on Christmas day when a relative dressed as Santa Claus opened fire on the family before he turned the gun on himself.

Seven people were killed, including the shooter. According to police the age of the victims range from 18 to 60 and at this time they do not know what caused Santa to become homicidal.

The shooting was discovered after dispatch received a phone call from the apartment in the middle of the day. According to the police report nobody was on the line when the call was answered.

With many of the apartments surrounding the scene already empty nobody called in loud gunshots.

Police will not reveal the name of the victims until an autopsy has been performed, however they say a search is currently underway to find and notify the families relatives. Sergeant Robert Eberling says by all accounts the victims appear to be family members while adding:

“We have a petty good idea who these folks were, and we’re trying to work through contacting other family members so we can better piece together what took place and why it took place.”

Speaking about the killings the town’s police lieutenant proclaimed:

 ”Seven people in one setting in Grapevine, that’s never happened before. Ever.”

It’s still also unclear as to why the relative chose to dress as Santa Claus before carrying out the killing.
