Houston, Texas (KTRK) – Houston Police Department homicide detectives who gathered at an apartment complex on the city’s Southeast side on Tuesday were brought there as part of the ongoing search for a 43-year-old woman who was last seen alive six days ago.
Authorities have not yet located Leslie Opie, who disappeared in a neighborhood off US 90 Alternate south of the I-610 south loop on January 11, 2023.
It was last seen more specifically in the area of 17 Charleston Park Drive, according to Texas EquuSearch.
In the latest twist in the case, HPD Homicide Division detectives have begun investigating an apartment complex at 9425 Scott Street, about seven miles from where she was last seen. HPD said her body was never found, but investigators confirmed an on-site investigation as part of the case.
They did not immediately say what specifically led them to the address.
While the police could not yet determine what happened on Scott Street, SkyEye flew over the area and caught a person in handcuffs as he was being transferred from one patrol car to another.
A detective at the scene told Eyewitness News that they have been following up on a tip in the case and have confirmed that there is no body here.
The identity of the person has not yet been confirmed.
Tim Miller of Texas EquiuSearch mentioned early in the research that Opie’s cousin had similarly disappeared 22 years ago. That person, Larry Guillory, was later found dead.
