A man has been detained and charged after his wife’s body was found inside a box in southwest Houston on Sunday, officials from the Houston Police Department said.
According to HPD, they received reports after a maintenance man found a suspicious box with a bad odor in the 7000 block of Bissonnet around 11:58 a.m.
Houston firefighters arrived on the scene first and discovered the body inside the box, authorities said. “In the surveillance video, you’re able to see a person carrying a U-Haul box on a dolly, and they bring over to here, and they drop it and kind of walk away from the scene,” said HPD Detective Matthew Hughey.
Detectives told KPRC 2 they detained the woman’s husband and charged him with tampering with evidence. Police said they are working to determine if he was the person in the video. “I couldn’t comment on the reason or his motivation as to why he came back to the scene,” Hughey said.The victim’s identity has not yet been released.Moriah Ballard joined the KPRC 2 digital team in the fall of 2021. Prior to becoming a digital content producer in Southeast Texas and a Houstonian, Moriah was an award-winning radio host in her hometown of Lorain, Ohio and previously worked as a producer/content creator in Cleveland. Her faith, family, and community are her top passions.
