After going missing for almost three weeks, the remains of a Texas mom were recovered Tuesday by authorities inside an SUV submerged in a Pearland pond.
Erica Hernandez was last seen leaving the house of a friend in southwest Houston at around 2:30 a.m. on April 18. Since then, police and family members have been looking for the 40-year-old Texas mom of three.
According to ABC News, authorities went to search the retention pond in Pearland after receiving information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Kevin Deese, Commander of the Houston Police Department, said the police surveyed the area, and they were able to find evidence suggesting the vehicle struck a curb and went into the water.
