Eerie Coincidence

 Above photo is Monica Alcantar found dead and decomposing in her car in Houston on September 10th. Her body was found in a public area.

Above photo is Christian Collida, found dead and decomposing on September 15th near downtown Houston in a public area.

A couple weeks ago I came across a guy laid out in a parking lot. Before he lost consciousness he said he had taken Fentanyl. I helped the two lady medics load him onto a stretcher. One of the medics didnt think he was going to live. I wonder if there is a bad batch of this crap making its way around Houston. I am anxious to know and still waiting for the official cause of death of these two girls. Will up date.

Update: Monicas death caused by accidental overdose. Christian's cause of death ruled "undetermined".

 Another 2 Bodies Found

HPD investigating 2 bodies found just miles apart in Houston's southeast side:

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police are investigating two scenes in the city's southeast side after reports of a body found at each location.

Both scenes are still developing Tuesday evening.

At about 6:59 p.m., HPD officers were called out to 5900 S. MacGregor Way, after reports of a person found in Brays Bayou.

Officers said someone along the trail flagged down a nearby officer after spotting the body. The body, whose identity has not been revealed, is that of a man.

Police said the man's body did not have any obvious signs of trauma.

Then, less than 10 miles away, police received a call at 7:25 p.m. of another body found at 8500 Findlay Street near Sims Bayou.

People were in a home's backyard when they spotted the body, which appeared to be far into its decomposition stage.

While both scenes are close to one another, it's unclear if they're related.

An investigation remains into both cases.

A Couple More Found Dead In Houston Area. 

HOUSTON - A Houston area family is hoping for answers after their loved one, 29-year-old Stephanie Carrizal, was located dead in Sheldon Reservoir in east Harris County. 

Investigators are searching for a killer after a woman’s body was found in the Sheldon Reservoir in east Harris County Saturday morning.

The investigation was taking place as that woman’s family continued to plea for answers.

“She was loved, she was loved so much,” said Liza Guzman, who is 29-year-old Stephanie Carrizal’s sister. “All I just think about is the good times, and the good memories that we had.”

Memories of the mother of three, described as a free spirit who loved to dance, are now overshadowed by her unexpected death.

“It was Saturday and they told me they needed to talk to me. I kind of felt it,” said Stephanie’s mother, Christine Carrizal.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators delivered earth-shattering news to the family Sunday about their loved one’s body being found by a fisherman near a wooded area in the reservoir.

“It just hurt a lot, it hurt a lot,” Guzman said.

Officials are working to determine whether a stolen SUV pulled from the reservoir Saturday has anything to do with Carrizal being found in the same body of water just a few miles away.

(According to Medical Examiner, Stephanie was strangled)

The Harris County Medical Examiners' office has identified the woman whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase by a couple out walking their dog in north Harris County earlier this week. According to Houston news station KHOU 11, the woman found was 39-year-old Allison Lozano, who lived in Spring. Although her identity has been announced, the context and details of her death remain unclear. 

On Sunday, May 7, around 8:30 p.m., a couple walking their dog found Lozano's decomposing body in the 22800 block of Imperial Valley near Cypress Slough Drive.

Once the couple discovered Lozano's body, they flagged down a nearby deputy, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. At the time of her discovery, authorities could not identify Lozano because of the advanced state of decomposition. The suitcase in which Lozano was found was discovered in a grassy, barren spot of land and sat about a block away from a commercial area. 

(Cause of death not released yet. But according to Sheriffs Dept, they suspect foul play. Really? Found in a suitcase and they "suspect" foul play?)

 

The Cherokee County Sheriff is seeking the public’s help in locating a missing Jacksonville girl.

Madison Clark, who also goes by the names Madi, Royalty or Jersey, was reported missing by her grandmother Saturday, May 27. Clark was last seen at 6:30 p.m. Saturday when she was picked up from her home in a white, four-door sedan, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office. No name or description was available for the driver.

It is believed that Clark left willingly and law enforcement is working the case as an active missing person/runaway, according to Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson.

Clark is 5-foot, 3-inches tall, weighs approximately 112 pounds and has long, red-dyed hair. She has earrings and two nose studs. She was wearing a yellow T-shirt and black pants with red, black and white high-top Nikes when last seen.

Anyone who has seen Clark or knows of her whereabouts is asked to contact the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, at 903-683-2271, or the local police.

 It Pisses Me Off!

What makes a missing girl more important than the other? I get really pissed off that cases are prioritized because of "social standing" as opposed to evidence. After doing this for many years I see there is a pattern of discrimination when it comes to missing persons cases, especially for females. Whether it be social standing, criminal behavior, even the race of the victim, there is definitely discrimination when it comes to investigating and searching for the missing. A missing girl from the ritzy part of town is no more important than a missing girl who has been arrested in the past. Of course the media wont put this out there and we all know why. The dead cannot cry out for justice, its up to the living to do it for them.

Interesting Find    

Found these items under a bridge on the bank of Buffalo Bayou. Cops dismissed it as a fluke basically. The high heels were almost new. There were bra padding, halter top and a pair of panties.

I have a good idea where to search for her body and its been bugging me for a while now. I'm getting a bit old to go trudging through this area where the red car was seen leaving that night. The car was leaving the area with its headlights off. Around 315 am If I can gather about 10 people to volunteer to search this area. If you want to help and can get some people please email me at researchtexas@comcast.net

You can also call my other cell phone. Leave me a voicemail if you get no answer. (713) 481-3184 

Thanks,

A New Year    

Well here it is 2023. Sounds weird doesnt it? Let us hope that with the new technology that is being used, that more cold cases can solved and folks sitting in the morgue can get identified.

My idea to a local politician fell on deaf ears. I suggested that perhaps people should submit a DNA sample when renewing or getting their State Drivers license or ID.  I was told it could be an "invasion of privacy" but if you have nothing to fear why would it be? Can you imagine the cold cases that could be solved. Or even better, all the unidentified folks in the morgue that could be identified? I wish there was a lawmaker ballsy enough to suggest this to the governors of every state. I dont think its an invasion of privacy, I consider it a safety issue in cases such as a missing person or even a cold case  where the suspects DNA was found.

Perhaps I am a dreamer, or else maybe just maybe I'm tired of seeing all these cold cases.
