A body was found inside the SUV, and on Tuesday, the Fort Bend County Sheriff s Office said it was positively identified as that of Kempe. Authorities said preliminary findings showed her death was due to accidental drowning, but lab analysis is pending. Unfortunately, the remains of a female were located within the vehicle, which became visible as water levels in Jones Creek receded following heavy rains in the area last week, FBCSO said in a press release.
The Fort Bend County Sheriffâs Office said the body found Monday morning in Richmond has been identified as that of 41-year-old Allison Kempe, who had been reported missing last week.
Police said preliminary findings indicate that Kempe, who was found inside her car in Richmondâs Jones Creek, died as the result of accidental drowning.
FBCSO said Kempe had last been seen July 9 exiting a restaurant in the 6300 block of FM 1463 in Katy. She was thought to be returning to her Richmond-area home near FM 359 and FM 723, according to police. Investigators noticed the vehicle when the water levels in Jones Creek receded after heavy rains, according to the sheriffâs office.

While many people believe misinformation on Facebook and Twitter from time to time, people with lower education or health literacy levels, a tendency to use alternative medicine or a distrust of the health care system are more likely to believe inaccurate medical postings than others, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. Inaccurate information is a barrier to good health care because it can discourage people from taking preventive measures to head off illness and make them hesitant to seek care when they get sick, said lead author Laura D. Scherer, PhD, with the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Identifying who is most susceptible to misinformation might lend considerable insight into how such information spreads and provide us with new avenues for intervention.
Americans have made no secret of their skepticism of COVID-19 vaccines this year, with fears of political interference and a warp speed timeline blunting confidence in the shots. As recently as September, nearly half of U.S. adults said they didn t intend to be inoculated.
But with two promising vaccines primed for release, likely within weeks, experts in ethics and immunization behavior say they expect attitudes to shift quickly from widespread hesitancy to urgent, even heated demand. People talk about the anti-vaccine people being able to kind of squelch uptake. I don t see that happening, Dr. Paul Offit, a vaccinologist with Children s Hospital of Philadelphia, told viewers of a recent JAMA Network webinar. This, to me, is more like the Beanie Baby phenomenon. The attractiveness of a limited edition.
