She was found kneeling at the base of a tall elm tree o[sic] the bank of a dry creekbed in a secluded wooded area six miles east of Mexia. She was shot twice in the back of the head, twice in the neck. Two sets of footprints leaving the murder scene were found by police; one from a man's shoe, another from a pair of high-heeled shoes.

He has been told the woman was a prostitute, brought to Central Texas from Mexico as part of a gun-running and prostitution operation.

Bonner believes the death is connected to a 1980 slaying on Farm Road 1365 just a mile from where the woman died. In that incident, a man named Gabriel de Leon was run down by a red vehicle. Two days before the woman was killed, she reportedly told another person she knew who killed de Leon.

She isn't in NamUs or the Doe Network.

I had not noticed this thread before, and there is no NamUs or DoeNet casefile for her. I wonder if this case has been resolved, or just forgotten. There are no other DoeNet or NamUs UID's out of Limestone County TX.

The physical description fits nearly perfectly to Judy Kay Lowery Munguia. The circumstances, location, and timeline don't fit real close though, so I would say likely not - but possible.

Hmmm, has anyone contacted to see if this doe has been identified? She is still not in NamUs.

I submitted an Unidentified Person Case Submission to Doe Network as a start.

Isn't there a case like this in oklahoma? A woman found shot execution style in a creek bed found by hunters. I'm pretty sure it happened in the 80's too. Hmmmm.

There seem to be quite a few UIDs found in creek beds based on a quick Doe Network search, but is the case you are referring to this one? http://doenetwork.org/cases/249ufok.html
