A Texas man has been arrested in connection with the death of a young mother whose body was found decomposing in the back of a borrowed U-Haul truck at a storage facility earlier this summer.

Tara Groves, 25, was found “laying on a couch” and “wrapped in several layers of plastic” while “underneath a variety of debris” in the back of the locked truck on June 9, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Houston Police Department and obtained by Law&Crime. Police also noted that a small amount of methamphetamine, a glass pipe, and several “empty naloxone containers” were found wrapped up in the plastic that had been used to cover her body.

An anonymous caller knew where the deceased woman’s body was and the person who allegedly drove her corpse to the address in Katy – a small city that is part of the broader Houston metropolitan area – and told police as much on the day in question, the complaint says.
