Overview
- A teenager riding a bike discovered an adult woman's body in the Addicks flood-control basin and flagged a nearby man who called 911.
- Responding officers noted signs of trauma on the body, which led Houston police to bring in homicide detectives.
- Detectives say the circumstances appear suspicious, while the cause of death remains undetermined and the victim has not been identified.
- The location sits away from roads in the dry reservoir, so investigators hiked through rough terrain and worked to get an ATV to speed their work.
- Police describe the area as popular for hiking and biking yet very isolated, and they ask anyone with information to contact HPD Homicide or Crime Stoppers.
