Authorities in Texas are now treating the death of a mother of four, Giselle Tapia-Salazar, as a homicide after her body was found hanging from a dock in League City last month. The investigation has revealed suspicious circumstances surrounding her death, leading police to identify two persons of interest in the case.
Tapia-Salazar, 30, was discovered hanging from a rope near a boat where she resided with her boyfriend, James Hart. While initial reports suggested suicide, investigators now believe she was murdered and then staged to appear as if she had taken her own life.
James Hart, who was living with Tapia-Salazar, has vehemently denied any involvement in her death, expressing shock and grief over the tragic incident. Surveillance footage in the area was found to have been tampered with, further raising suspicions of foul play.
League City police revealed that Hart was initially uncooperative with authorities, but eventually shared his account of the events leading up to Tapia-Salazar's disappearance. A neighbor who discovered her body also raised concerns about the positioning of her arm, indicating that she may have died elsewhere before being moved to the dock.
Family members of Tapia-Salazar have expressed disbelief at the notion of her taking her own life, with her brother and sister calling for justice and emphasizing her positive and loving nature. A GoFundMe page has been set up to cover funeral expenses and support her children.
As investigators work to determine the cause of Tapia-Salazar's death, the community remains on edge, eager for answers and closure in this tragic case.
