HOUSTON — Investigators are working to find out what happened to a woman whose body was found wrapped in plastic behind a dumpster this morning.
A food truck vendor found the victim near a liquor store on 249/Tomball Parkway near Beltway 8 in northwest Harris County.
He said she was known on the streets, was well-liked and never caused any trouble.
“She didn’t deserve to be thrown away like trash," he told us.
Homicide detectives with the Harris County Sheriff's Office are looking for clues in the case.
“At this point, our investigators are developing leads, they’re canvassing the area, retrieving video surveillance, talking to witnesses," HCSO Major Saul Suarez told us.
They weren't sure how long the body had been there but another man who knew the victim told us he'd seen her at a Burger King down the street on Thursday.
"I'm going to miss her. She was a good lady," he said. "I feel bad because I have a daughter and I don’t want that to happen to her."
Someone wrote "RIP sweetheart" on the dumpster and some flowers and a balloon with the words "RIP Anna" were left nearby.
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information on this case to contact them at 713-221-6000.
