A death investigation is underway in northeast Harris County. Family members had been searching for a woman, believed to be in her 60s, since at least Wednesday. Her vehicle was found to have been towed from a nearby parking lot, which led them to search the area.

The woman's body was discovered in a dumpster behind a strip mall. Law enforcement responded to the scene after receiving a call. The circumstances surrounding her death are not yet clear.

Further information about the investigation can be found through the Harris County Sheriff's Office, which is handling the case.
