Harris County Deputies Believe Deaths of 2 May Be Linked

Harris County homicide investigators believe the discoveries of two bodies found about 14 miles apart may be related.

Firefighters called to put out a car fire in the northeast part of the county before dawn Friday discovered a body inside. The car had been set ablaze about 100 yards off a canal next to a wooded area.

Then about two hours later, deputies were summoned to a park in the Channelview area in east Harris County where the body of a man was found. Authorities say he had head trauma and may have been shot.

Neither victim has been identified.  Detectives didn't immediately disclose why they think the deaths may be connected.
