Fort Worth police have ended a search at a Haltom City creek.

Police said Monday morning that a prisoner told them he had knowledge of a body in the creek, but beyond that investigators have provided no further details on the case. 

Officers searched the area all day Monday and said they found no evidence of a crime.

Police have not said to what case the search is related.
