Two bodies were found floating in two different Dallas creeks Sunday morning, police say.
A witness called police at 11:26 a.m. Sunday morning after noticing a body floating in a creek near the 5700 block of Scyene Road.[[434832503, R]]
Just 13 minutes later, officers responded to a call in the 3000 block of Rochester Street where a second body was also reported floating in a creek.
The two scenes are about five miles apart.
Dallas police said the body found near Rochester Street is a white female. They are investigating this as a homicide, but have not said how she died. So far no identity has been released.
Extra Dallas police officers patrolled around Rochester Lake and the surrounding park Sunday afternoon. For park-goers and police, it was an unusually quiet scene at an area that is normally crowded on summer Sunday afternoons.
"Peace of mind, that's what I come down here for," said Ursula Jones, a frequent visitor. "Everybody is enjoying themselves, having a good time, trying to stay cool."
