The body of an unidentified woman has been discovered in a ditch in a Houston suburb and authorities are trying to piece together who she was and how she died. The incident occurred early morning on Saturday at approximately 3 a.m. when deputies responded to reports of an unknown object located in a ditch in the Cloverleaf area of Houston, Texas -- a suburb east of downtown Houston. “When the deputies arrived on the scene they located an unidentified Hispanic female in the ditch,” Sgt. Ben Beall said in a media briefing posted on social media. “EMS responded to the scene and pronounced her deceased.” Authorities say that they do not have any identification of the female but that she appears to be Hispanic, about 30 to 40 years old, about 5’7” to 5’8” and has numerous tattoos on her body.
