Officials said 48-year-old Perkins was last seen leaving her home to go visit a friend; however, it is thought that Perkins might have last been in the Shepherd area.
Officials said at the time of her disappearance, she was driving a gray 2012 Chrysler 200 and wearing a lightweight, dark-colored jacket, boots, a pink hat and leggings.
On Feb. 17, Texas Equusearch found the Chrysler 200 where the Trinity River meets Highway 787 in Liberty County by using a "sonar" type of device.
The sheriff's office confirmed Perkins' remains Thursday.
