Old bones need your help..


HUMBLE, Texas - A Harris County forensics team needs your help in putting a name on some old bones.

A passerby found the skeletal remains of man in a wooded area in the 13900 block of Smith Road in Humble back on Sept. 11. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences claims the man could have been dead anywhere from one to five years.

The deceased is described as a while male, 18-25 years of age and 5’7” to 6’1”. Both of his upper front teeth are crowns and his left first molar appears to be infected. The man may have also just healed from a nasal bone fracture.

He was wearing an Old Navy-brand XXL shirt and jeans from Ralph Lauren, but the size could not be determined. A watch and a white belt buckle were also found on the body.

If you have any information that could lead to this man’s identification, you are urged to call the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences at (713) 796-9292.

HOUSTON—Authorities are searching for one suspect who got away after a brazen smash-and-grab robbery at convenience store in Humble early Tuesday.

Humble policed said two suspects backed a flatbed truck into the Get-N-Go convenience store on S. Houston at Memorial Glen around 1:30 a.m. After smashing through the wall, the suspects hooked chains to the ATM and yanked it out of the store.

A police officer spotted the truck heading toward the beltway and attempted to pull it over, but the driver refused to stop. The suspects led police on a short chase before bailing out at the Knight's Inn near Green’s road. One of the suspects was captured immediately.

HOUSTON – Police are looking into a possible link between the strangulation murders of at least three women since June.
The most recent cases involved homeless women. The body of Carol Flood, 62, was found on Oct. 10 in a stairwell behind the old YMCA building. She was partially nude. On Sept. 30, Retia LaFaye Long, 52, was found dead behind the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart at 1700 San Jacinto.

Now police believe the same killer may have strangled Raquel Mundy last June 17, then dumped her body in a field in the 300 block of St. Charles.
Mundy, 24, was murdered after accepting a ride from a stranger when she was stranded downtown.

She had dropped her mom and two kids off at the Greyhound bus station downtown around 1:30 a.m. Thursday. She then discovered her car had been towed from a McDonald’s parking lot across the street.
Mundy tried to call friends and relatives, but couldn’t find anyone to give her a ride to the tow lot. Witnesses saw her get into a grey car with an unknown man, according to police.

Mundy later sent a text message to her mother saying she thought she was in danger and feared the man was going to hurt her.
Angela Collins was still on the bus to California with her two grandchildren when she got the disturbing message.

She tried frantically to reach Mundy. Collins then called several relatives and asked them to try to find Mundy.
By the time the bus arrived in California, there was still no sign of her daughter.
"Next call we got, they had found the body. It was my baby, Collins said as she choked back tears. "This man took away my baby."
An autopsy revealed Mundy had been strangled.
