Woman whose body was found in closet of E. Harris County mobile home was strangled, autopsy shows
Jose Corona, 26, is wanted as a person of interest in the homicide of Insy Cruz-Flores.
CHANNELVIEW, Texas (KTRK) -- Deputies are putting a face and a name to the boyfriend who they say disappeared after his girlfriend's body was found inside a closet of the Channelview-area mobile home they lived in.
On Thursday evening, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted a photo of 26-year-old Jose Corona, who the sheriff's office considers a person of interest in Insy Cruz-Flores' death.
A preliminary autopsy report released earlier in the day ruled that the 36-year-old victim died of strangulation and listed the manner of death as a homicide.
ORIGINAL STORY: Woman's body found wrapped in closet, car missing from mobile home in E. Harris County
