The gruesome discovery happened at the Oaks on Bissonett Apartments on the 7000 block of Bissonett Street in Southwest Houston.
Around 2:45 p.m. Sunday, investigators said a resident called to report a suspicious package with no label left in the apartment's parking lot. Inside the box, investigators discovered a woman’s body. "The first thing when I saw that was that it could’ve been a baby or a kid. You know, for a medium-sized box for a whole body to fit, it would’ve been kind of hard. It was creepy and scary," said Erika Bustos, a neighbor.
"It's shocking. It makes you really take a look at the people that you cross and conversate with a lot. I was very surprised," said a neighbor who did not want to be identified. Police say the suspect is in custody and is expected to face felony charges of tampering with a corpse.
