Body found inside submerged car in search for missing Texas mom Erica Hernandez

An SUV with a body inside was found submerged in a Texas lake during a search for a missing Houston mother, cops said.

Erica Hernandez, a 40-year-old mom of three, disappeared on April 17 after leaving a friend’s home in southwest Houston. The police department’s dive team recovered a vehicle matching the same make, model and license plate of her black GMC Acadia in a man-made lake in Pearland, cops told reporters Tuesday. “Our condolences go out to the family as they go through a painful time of waiting for a positive identification on one individual that was found inside the vehicle,” Houston Police Commander Kevin Deese said.
