HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Investigators with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Division gathered Tuesday afternoon to discuss the case of a woman who was found dead in the Sheldon Reservoir in east Harris County in June.
The woman’s body was found floating at the reservoir located at 13571 Garrett Road on June 10 at approximately 6:45 a.m., by a family who was fishing. The victim was identified as Stephanie Leighane Carrizal, a mother of three.

Investigators determined that Carrizal had suffered trauma that was not consistent with drowning, and officials said there were possible signs of foul play.
During the news conference, investigators learned that Carrizal was homeless and had very minimal contact with family prior to her death. They said she mostly hung out in the Bissonnet Street area, possibly being involved in the sex industry.
“We want answers, we want justice, we want to know why,” said the victim’s mother, Christine.
