Overview
- A local resident reported finding human fetal remains along the Lewisville Lake shoreline and officers located the remains after responding to the call.
- Police say a preliminary on-scene assessment placed the fetus at about five to six months' gestation and that it appeared to have been intentionally discarded.
- Investigators turned the remains over to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner, which is examining the body to establish identity, gestational age, and cause or manner of death.
- The probe remains active and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Craig Holleman at cholleman@cityoflewisville.com or 972-219-3620, or to submit anonymous tips to Denton County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-388-TIPS.
- Medical examiner findings will help determine whether the case becomes a criminal investigation and could shape possible charges, and the evidence collected at the scene will guide next steps for investigators and the affected community.
