WALLER COUNTY, Texas - Investigators with the Waller County Sheriff’s Office spent several hours Wednesday night looking for evidence under a bridge near the Brazos River and Highway 290.
A few fishermen had been in the area earlier on Wednesday and they discovered a black garbage bag dumped about 50 feet from the water’s edge. The top of the bag was tied but the bottom had busted open and they were able see inside, they saw what looked like a human torso and called the police.
"What appears right now is that the arms, legs and head are missing,” said Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith. “I’m hoping we can get some DNA samples.”
Smith told KPRC 2 that his investigators had not been able to tell if the torso was male or female. They believe it had been in the area for two to three days.
The Waller County Sheriff's Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call 979-826-8266.

A human torso was found inside a plastic bag Wednesday afternoon near the river’s banks. Waller County investigators spent Thursday afternoon at the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Officer looking for any information to solve the mystery.
“It appeared that someone wanted that body to be found,” said Brian Cantrell, chief deputy for the Waller County Sheriff’s Office.
The men found a lawn and leaf bag with a small rip and saw what has now been confirmed to be a human torso inside.
“Whether it was retaliation, organized crime, drug cartel, it’s all mere speculation now,” said Cantrell. “But none of that’s being ruled out.”
