HOUSTON -- The body of a chiropractor who has been missing for a week was possibly found Friday, officials told KPRC Local 2.

Texas EquuSearch said volunteers found the body believed to be Dr. Melinda Superville in an abandoned home in the 2100 block of Antoine, about 100 yards north of her office, Friday afternoon.

The body matched Superville's description.

Houston police were sent to the scene to investigate.

"The body is in a back bedroom laying on the floor, and that's about all I'm prepared to say at this point," said Sgt. David Crain, with the Houston Police Department. "There is a wound to the body about the head, but I can't tell specifically where or from what."

No other details have been released.

Superville's brother went to the scene, but was not allowed inside the house. He did not make any statement to reporters.

Superville, 43, was last seen Dec. 2 at 1 p.m. leaving the chiropractic office she shares with her husband, Dr. Thomas Superville. She leaves behind a 2-year-old son.

A $10,000 reward was offered in the case. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.
