Man arrested after body of Texas woman found in Colorado
A Texas man has been arrested after the body of a woman was found along I-25 in Colorado earlier this week.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said the body of Austin, Texas, resident Brenda Jackson was discovered along I-25 near Larkspur, Colo., on June 15. The department began an investigation into her death in coordination with the Austin Police Department.
Investigators identified Austin resident Daniel Strong as a person of interest in the case and arrested him in Travis County, Texas. Strong is facing charges of tampering with a deceased human body.
