Chavez remains a person of interest in the death of her mother, Barbara Parchem.

Parchem, 67, disappeared April 6, 2013, from her home.

A few weeks after the popular St. Johns County waitress vanished, her remains were found in a wooded area in northern Flagler County and the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. But Parchem's killer still has not been brought to justice.
