Texas mom Christina Lee Powell has been found dead in her car parked at a strip mall three weeks after she vanished while on her way to work.
The 39-year-old was last seen leaving her house at 10:34 a.m. on July 5, after calling in to her job as a paralegal to let them know she was running late, friends and family say.
Doorbell cam footage at her home on the 7700 block of Redhill Place showed her rushing out the door to her paralegal job, and police launched a search for her three days later.
Her body was found in her Nissan Rogue in the parking lot of the Huebner Oaks Center in San Antonio on Saturday night, according to the New York Post. Her body was ‘parked in the same location for about a week’ before she was discovered, police told Fox News.
A security guard ‘noticed a foul odor’, according to the New York Post. He then found her body in the front seat and dialed 911.
There was no obvious trauma to Powell’s body, but her cause of death will be determined by the coroner.

Police found her purse inside the vehicle and used her ID to identify her.
Powell’s mom, Claudia Mobley, broke the news on Facebook on July 25 after pleading for others to help find her daughter.
‘My beautiful daughter, Christina Powell, has been found, deceased,’ she wrote. ‘ I am heartbroken. Thank you for all your prayers.’
Powell, who was driving a black 2020 Nissan Rouge that is also missing, left her iPhone and Apple Watch at home because she was rushing to get to work
Among the pleas to find Christina Powell came from her mom Claudia who posted to Facebook asking for help locating her daughter’s whereabouts
Mobley posted her first call for help on July 23, saying her daughter left for work on July 5 and left her cell phone behind.
‘There have been no transactions on her credit cards or bank account,’ Mobley wrote. ‘We have retraced her route to work several times and there are no bodies of water or signs of a crash along the way. We’re not even sure she headed to work.’
Mobley previously told Fox News that she remembers speaking with her daughter the day she disappeared.
‘We didn’t really have any kind of in-depth conversation,’ she said. ‘It was basically, “Good morning.” She told me she was late. Then, she was leaving for work, and I told her to be careful. And I probably told her, “love you.”‘
Mobley added, ‘I felt like she was going, I believed she was going to work — and I think she felt like she was going to work.’
Family members of Powell told police she had an argument with one of her child’s fathers before she went missing. However, investigators told Fox News that he is cooperating with the investigation and isn’t a person of interest.
Powell reportedly had an argument with the father over text message, Mobley told Fox News.
‘He wanted them to be a family unit again,’ she said. ‘He was blaming her for them not being together anymore.”
Mobley doesn’t think the father of her grandchild is involved in the disappearance.
