Upon arrival, deputies learned that TPD had responded to the area after they had received a 9-1-1 call about a female who was possibly in distress. When TPD officers went into the wash they found a deceased female in her 50’s. As the wash area lies outside of city limits, the investigation was turned over to deputies.
A description of a male individual possibly involved in the incident was also provided and both agencies conducted a joint search operation in the area. Prior to the arrival of additional specialty units such as K-9 and air support, patrol deputies located a male matching the description they were given. The male was apprehended and detained. The male individual detained by deputies is considered a suspect.
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call 9-1-1 or 88-CRIME.
