A Texas man has been taken into custody following the discovery of a woman’s body in a field near Beltway 8.
The man, identified as 25-year-old Christopher Daniel Bernard, is now facing serious charges, including murder and tampering with evidence. The victim has been identified as 29-year-old Cortney Hall.
The incident came to light on Wednesday morning when a landscaping crew discovered Hall’s body in an open field near Assay Street, located just inside Beltway 8, close to W. Lake Houston Parkway.
Authorities were quickly alerted, and an investigation was launched by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Court records reveal that Bernard allegedly met Hall at a local motel on Monday.
According to investigators, their interaction took a tragic turn when Bernard reportedly strangled Hall.
After the incident, he is accused of moving her body to the field where it was later discovered.
The exact motive behind this tragic act is still unclear, but the evidence gathered so far has led to Bernard’s arrest and the charges against him.
He is expected to make his next court appearance on Monday, where more details about the case might come to light.
