On arrival, deputies located the body of a woman, later identified as that of Dayton, TX resident Angela McGirr, 46, in a drainage ditch.

Detectives are investigating the incident as a homicide due to the suspicious circumstances and the manner of death, according to the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators believe that the location where the body was found is a secondary crime scene and not the location where the homicide took place.
