Man arrested in Texas in connection with body found near I-25

A man has been arrested in Texas in connection with a body found along I-25 near Larkspur last month.

Daniel Strong Jr., 73, was arrested with the help of the Austin, Texas, Police Department, after he was identified as a person of interest in the June death of 65-year-old Brenda Jackson, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday night. Strong is being held in Travis County, Texas, on suspicion of tampering with a deceased human body.

Jackson’s body was discovered along the southbound lanes of I-25 on June 15, and Douglas County investigators initially requested public assistance in identifying her.

The sheriff’s office is now asking for residents of Austin; New Mexico; and Colorado to report any sightings of Jackson and Strong prior to May 24. Investigators believe a gray Honda Odyssey van with the Texas license plate 1SGSC was involved.
