Plano Remains Identified as Missing Man Christopher Tennyson: Plano Police

Human remains found along a Plano creek Tuesday have been identified as 47-year-old Christopher David Tennyson, Plano police say.

The department said Wednesday they notified the families of both 23-year-old Christina Morris and Tennyson as a courtesy after a skull and several bones were found Tuesday afternoon near a creek in Jack Carter Park, behind Carlisle Elementary School.

On Wednesday, investigators found additional bones and sent them to the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office who, using dental records, identified the remains as Tennyson.

The Morris and Tennyson cases, which are not connected, were the only active missing persons cases being investigated by the department. Morris disappeared in August 2014, last seen in a recording entering the Shops at Legacy parking garage with suspect Enrique Arochi.

Tennyson's wife, Faith, told NBC 5 soon after her husband's disappearance on April 4, 2015, that he had health problems, including a seizure disorder that could leave him dazed and confused and unsure of who or where he was.

Investigators said there are no signs of foul play but that the investigation into Tennyson's death is ongoing.
