Texas mom Christina Lee Powell who was reported missing a few weeks back has been found but unfortunately, dead! According to the New York Post, she was found dead in her car at the parking lot of a shopping mall.
Christina Lee Powell’s body was discovered Saturday night after a security guard noticed a “foul odor” coming from the vehicle parked outside the Huebner Oaks Center in San Antonio.
The security guard approached the 39-year-old’s black 2020 Nissan Rogue after realizing the car had been parked in the same spot outside the mall for about a week, police said.
“He looked inside the vehicle and observed a body in the front passenger side seat and called 911,” police said.
Police said there was no apparent trauma to Powell’s body, but a medical examiner was carrying out an autopsy to determine her official cause of death.
It wasn’t immediately clear when Powell died. Her purse and ID were found inside the car and used to positively identify her, cops said.
Powell’s mother, Claudia Moble, broke the news of her daughter’s death on Facebook, writing on Monday: “My beautiful daughter, Christina Powell, has been found, deceased. I am heartbroken. Thank you all for your prayers.”
Powell had been missing since July 5 after she set off from her San Antonio home to head to her paralegal job, her family said at the time.
She was captured on her doorbell security footage rushing to leave the house at about 10:30 a.m. — leaving behind her phone and Apple Watch.
This seems to lead to more questions than answers. How did she die? No one noticed a dead woman in a car for a week? Did she drive herself to the mall?
This story is far from over.
